I finally got around to doing the second half of Edgar Poe's short story 'Ligeia.' I had a reading that I did of two ten minute segments that I put on Youtube years ago when the limit was ten minutes for most videos. Since I have a new fiber optic $100 a month internet connection I am motivated to upload movies. Half my Youtube and Dailymotion videos seem to be audiobooks with a limited video graphic like a wallpaper. Candles and fireplaces are easy to look at as videos to go with an audio book.

I finished the last half of the reading off the kitchen computer with a Project Gutenberg text displayed in large type in front of me as my camera was on a tripod at my elbow. I had the text on screen - not me. About twenty minutes was recorded of the second half of the text. I could remember reading the story aloud thirty-five years ago into a tape recorder. I remember some of the images. The big room the narrator writes about with a large window and heavy drapes. Ligeia is a story of being with one woman while still pining for a woman from the past.
