    Thank you sir so much for telling these stories. You do a really great job!! 👍 It is a great comfort to me, as I work a graveyard shift as a custodian for a college. For the most part, my evenings are filled with a quiet solitude. Audiobooks are quite a comfort. I also enjoy listening to your family activity in the background. 🙂

      Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad the stories and sounds from my kids can bring some lighthearted joy to your labor. I was a custodian at an elementary school once, albeit for me, it was a summer job. It is often a thankless one: thank you for what you do! If you have a story you'd like to hear, let me know.

    Sounds more like he stopped hunting because he got beat up so badly. He was acting like one of the people he criticizes in his essay "Thou Shalt Not Kill." Try reading that one to us, please.

      I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I do recommend you read it for yourself: it's a great story, and I'd hate to keep you from "hearing" it due to to poor articulation. I will work on getting better. Happy tidings!

      @@dad_reads_stories I’ve read that story many times since before you were alive I have listened to others read it too You need to learn how to ‘mark up your copy’ so that you’re not constantly stumbling over your inflections//pronunciations. This reading does not need to be done by you as a ‘talking head’ Why you would even show your face is a disgracefully unnecessary distraction to the storyline What are you: an attention whore?

      If I were I'd be a pretty cheap one, what for all the money I make for this gig! I do this because I enjoy reading stories to my kids, and having done so for years we decided to record them for others: particularly others who may not have someone who regularly reads to them. Hence, the name of the channel. If it sounds and looks underproduced, that's because it is. Yes: this amateur looks like an amateur, and I don't have markup copies because most of the time, I'm reading these stories for the first time when I hit record. Some find delight in that serendipity, but obviously, it isn't for everyone. I wish you peace, joy and happiness in your reading.

      Tolstoy doesn't write bad short stories. It's difficult ultimately to choose a favorite. Three Questions...King of Assyria... Leo Tolstoy: ua-cam.com/play/PLyV6N3js5zLt1zi12mHsbeUpyPmWAhC5Y.html

      Yes! People ask me what my personal favorites are, and they are this one, as well as Three Questions and How Much Land Does a Man Need?. Both stories are by Tolstoy and I have recorded on the channel for your enjoyment. Thank you so much for listening! The world needs to hear these great stories. There is so much ugly in the world and on UA-cam. We need more goodness, truth, and beauty, which are so wonderfully captured by the great authors. Please share!
