You'll have to listen to find our which one is my favorite! Scroll down for the entire list. p.s. Less than a week to go on my band's album funding kickstarter! (Just in case you didn't know what to get me for my birthday ;) )

Confessions, volumes 5 and 6 Jean-Jacques Rousseau "She was more to me than a sister, a mother, a friend, or even than a mistress, and for this very reason she was not a mistress; in a word, I loved her too much to desire her..."More of the amours of the twentysomething Jean-Jacques: here initiated into a strangely compromised manhood by his "maman" and perennial comforter -"Was I happy? No: I felt I know-not-what invincible sadness which empoisoned my happiness, it seemed that I had committed an incest, and two or three times, pressing her eagerly in my arms, I deluged her bosom with my tears. On her part, as she had never sought pleasure, she had not the stings of remorse..."(Introduction by Martin Geeson) Confessions, volumes 5 and 6 by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778) LibriVox "She was more to me than a sister, a mother, a friend, or even than a mistress, and for this very reason she was not a mistress; in a word, I loved her too much to desire her..."More of the amours of the twentysomething Jean-Jacques: here initiated into a strangely compromised manhood by his "maman" and perennial comforter -"Was I happy?

On her part, as she had never sought pleasure, she had not the stings of remorse..."(Introduction by Martin Geeson) Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (version 3) by Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898) LibriVox "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do ..." .. and from that moment onward we drift with Alice into another world. When she sees a White Rabbit as it runs through the tall grass (looking worriedly at the watch it takes from its waist-coat pocket), she runs after it and drops into a strange dream. The world is full of chatty animals, from a rather stand-offish hookah-smoking caterpillar to the friendly Cheshire Cat which only sometimes goes to the bother of having a body. And everyone seems to be ordering her about ... or telling her to recite poetry! ... and all those verses that she once knew so well seem strangely distorted.In this book and in "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll affectionately brought together many of the wonderful stories he told to Alice and her sisters on long summer boating trips. (Summary by Peter Yearsley) In My Life In My Life Join Jessie and Cindy in their interviews with friends, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends of friends, and potentially some strangers to find a little more direction in this big mess called life. This one is for the lost, the decision paralyzed, the stagnant, the confused and the ordinary people in this world. We hope that you feel less alone by hearing our stories and that you find the inspiration to do what brings you joy in your life.Questions? Feedback? Contact us at [email protected].
