I have heard the promised land

Yesterday I was gifted with the most holiest of holies: Benedict Cumberbatch reading Kafka's Metamorphosis. I love Kafka. Yes, I really am one of those people. I think you lot know my feelings about Benedict. With these two things combined I walked around town with the most insipid smile ever. And I don't care. But this is all I have. I need more. I must have more. I am begging you. If you have more Benedict audiobooks, whatever the hell they are: novels, non-fiction, script readings, children's books, the shopping list. Please. Please share them with me. I am in need. I am in so much need. (And probably other people are in need too, so think about all the good will you'd be putting out in the world!)

er, I feel weird for commenting on this post because you don't know me, but I was popping through here to find one of your fanfics and yeah.

The [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc comm maintains master posts of Sherlock related works, including Cumberbatch, specifically here (http://community.livejournal.com/sherlockbbc/586527.html?thread=10972447#t10972447) and here (http://community.livejournal.com/sherlockbbc/586527.html?thread=12127007#t12127007). Probably most relevant to you is Cabin Pressure?


ETA: also, BC reading Little Red Hen (http://www.ladybirdreadityourself.com/favourite-fairytales). Not sure if it's in the above links or not.

Is the Kafka downloadable online somewhere? I'd love to hear that!

But how can you pay attention to the words when he's saying them?

I know this is a Benedict post and I hate to not post about him (here is something about him to make up for it: Benedict, please come read me the phonebook, because I'm sure you could make even that sound amazing) buuuttt,

the link to the Cumberbatch folder of Doom yes? Lots of audio stuff in there. I would highly recommend The Pillow Book although its rather ..distracting in places. The Blake 7 Early Years audios are very good as well as are all the Rumpole stuff. If you've not listened to Cabin Pressure then you are in for treat :)

Check the folder link/my LJ every now and then because I am always adding to it.
