Thank you so much for listening 🖤

@queeread you truly have a gift for this. I'd listen to any audiobooks you read.

That means the world to me. Truly. Thank you.

That means the world to me! Thank you so much for listening, Troy 🖤

I’m so glad! It was a difficult read for me. It’s a deeply hilarious chapter, but also the most graphic, sexual thing I’ve ever read aloud 🫣

Thank you for listening, that means a lot 🖤

It’s a poignant one 🖤

That means the world to me. Truly. Thank you 🖤

Thank you so much, Bonnie 🖤

Happy New Year, love!

What a beautiful comment, Giorgio. That means the world to me. 🖤

@@queeread How did you learn about queer reading. Does it come naturally to you, or did you have to study a lot? Have you ever published a book? The short stories you read or write are very Carver-like. I mean, they are just small real fragments of one’s own life. Raymond Carver: the more honest a writer is, the more the reader will understand them. Ciao Giorgio

I took a little hiatus but I’ll be reading a new (and fucking hilarious) chapter soon, I promise 🖤

@@queeread Thank you!!! I’ve been trying so hard to find someone reading American Psycho that I enjoy listening to! Now I’m itching for the next chapter.

Thank you for listening 🖤

Thank you so much! That means a lot. 🖤

Thank you kindly! 🖤

You're very welcome 🖤

Thank you for listening 🖤

It is 🖤

Thank you 🖤

Thank you so much, love 🖤

Thank you 🥹

This was written by a client of mine when I worked for a domestic violence organization. She changed my life 💜

Thanks for listening 🖤

Thank you! There are so many designer names in this book, I need all the help I can get 😂

I know 🫂

You are so welcome! This is the first writing of mine I ever recorded 🖤

🖤

You are most welcome. All my love to you both 🖤

I would be honored to read something for Brusco. Do you have something in mind? 🖤

"Chef's House" is a short story written by Raymond Carver

Marvelous

You read “Intimacy” by Raymond Carver. You read it perfectly. Even the picture associated with the reading was ideal.

Chef’s House Storytelling has always been an important part of Raymond Carver's stories. "Chef's House" is unique, however, in that, unlike most of Carver's stories, the dialogue between characters is not within quotation marks. Thus, the whole story seems to be more like Edna's recounting of all the events to a friend after the fact, rather than the action happening in real-time. Also unique, is the fact that it is Edna recounting the story, rather than Wes. Most of Carver's works come from the male perspective and more often from the alcoholic, rather than the alcoholic's wife. These changes give a special twist to "Chef's House" and reinforce the questions about identity from throughout the story.

Thank you for listening 🖤

Thank you for listening! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🖤

Thank you so much! I’ll read another chapter just for you 🖤

I did!

@ Here is the translation: I am 68 years old. I live in the countryside near Rome. I’m on a train heading to Rome to visit my daughter Maria, who is expecting a baby. The sky is blue, and the sun is very strong. I listened to Safe again. I often re-listen to your stories, and each time they feel more beautiful; then I forget them and listen again. I don’t know if I’m more interested in the stories or in the music of your music. I discovered you on TH-cam because I love Intimacy by Raymond Carver, and you love Ray too. Have you ever been to Rome? In June, my grandson will be born. You could come so I can introduce you to my entire family: My wife. My three daughters. My son-in-law. My grandson, who will be born in June. Best wishes, Giorgio Per favore continua a leggere, la tua voce è bellissima.

Thank you for sharing your life with me and for listening. I’m happy to send you a link to the full story if you’d like! Just let me know where to send it.

@@queeread When did you begin writing, and what inspired you to start? When did you begin reading, and what inspired you to start?

I’ve always enjoyed writing since I was a kid. And the interest in reading aloud began about two years ago 🖤

Thank you so much for listening 🖤

It was meant to be! Thank you for listening 🖤

😢

I’d love to hear your version. It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking story. Thank you so much for recommending it. Please feel free to suggest others as I’m always looking for new material! 🖤

Thank you! I chose to read that one in a more feminine tone. I will check out the poems; I love them, too 🖤

Glad you liked it! And enjoy outside, but beware of the po-po.

Thank you! It’s such a haunting story. Thank you so much for recommending it to me, and for listening. Posting another one you recommended shortly 🖤

You’re so welcome! Thank you for listening 🖤

Absolutely. What would you like to hear? And thank you 🖤

@queeread Here are a few that might suit your channel. I read them with my Grade 10 students and there aren't any really great readings of them out there that I am aware of. I think your reading style would really suit them. "The Flowers" by Alice Walker (one page long). A young girl comes across the skeletal remains of a man that was lynched. "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury (also pretty short). No introduction necessary. It's Bradbury! "The Ceiling" by Kevin Brockmeier. Interesting metaphor and minds-eye visuals. I'm discovering some great short stories through your channel so I expect to play some of your readings for my students in the future. I enjoyed "I could see the smallest things" by Carver. Thanks again.

​@@queeread Hey I typed up a response earlier but I don't think it went through. Hope this isn't showing up 2x on your end :) I think you could do a really great reading of "The Flowers" by Alice Walker, "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury, and "The Ceiling" by Kevin Brockmeier. "The Flowers" is a 1 page story about a young girl that comes across the skeletal remains of a man who had been lynched many years prior. "The Pedestrian" is just a classic Ray Bradbury story. Probably underrated. "The Ceiling" has some great writing, a nice metaphor and interesting minds-eye visuals. I teach these stories to my Grade 10 English students. There aren't any really good readings of them that I'm aware of. Thanks again. I'm finding some nice short stories via your channel.

I would be delighted to read these for you and your students 🖤

@@queeread Thanks I look forward to hearing your reading of any of these. In the meantime I will catch up on some of your other posts :)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! That means so much considering how many cry breaks I had to take 😂🖤

It’s such a haunting story. Thank you for listening 🖤

Thank you so much 🖤

Thank you so much 🖤
