The point of this video is to inspire people to read more, but I also couldn't keep myself from trying to make some sort of voice-over project of this when I got to this scene in Book II. 

It's as much of a lesson in humility as anything else though, it's far from perfect so I'm happy I finished it at all. I'm an Americanized Swede so I wanted to try speaking more of an English dialect. I got to practice many aspects of voice-over at once though, particularly breathing, enunciation, and reading for a long while!

Hope you enjoy it!
