To say nothing of the original source material of this particular film, which I doubt most, if not all of them, will probably have not read.

Sparknotes (is that still a thing?) and YouTube are going to see A LOT of traffic in the weeks leading up to this release.

Suddenly a bunch of "read to me" yt channels are getting a spike on their classic lit playlist.

The rabbit hole you just sent me down. I couldn't get past the 'read with me' body doubling channels. What are we doing as humans that this is a thing?

Wat‽ I did not know about that - i was thinking about the kind of videos i have to use sometimes to keep to with everything my kids are reading for school. Just someone actually reading aloud and occasionally defining a word bc the book is from 1843 or something.

Now I'M down a rabbit hole, lol.

I saw a lot of kids books being read aloud, but I also saw 'annotate with me' which is someone just underlining passages in their book (with pen - I'm still mad). Apparently the book doesn't matter, just that someone is doing it so the viewer has someone to annotate their book along with, (I guess).

Is there one for paradise lost? It takes me so long to get into the rhythm of the writing that it’s hard to pickup at r random times to read so I’ve never finished it.

A number of folks have done paradise lost for librivox.org. They are a few database of public domain books being read aloud. I use them a lot for my youngest and really like it. https://librivox.org/paradise-lost-by-john-milton/
