Blank.....

What a blank!? I was enjoying myself reading a book written by Mo Yan (Red Sorghum), an author from China. He is an outspoken, realism, a former farmer, an ex-soldier, a child suffer from hunger. His interpretation of his childhood, personal thoughts, daily life simply amaze me. Honesty is something that I honor in the books I read, or else I would chucked the book down the thrash bin.
Another author that I really adored, Michael Moore, he wrote the book "Bowling for columbine", "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Will they ever trust us again?" & etc. After reading the books, you should definitely watch his documentary movies, it's so cool and down to earth! I love his works!.....and Mo Yan's book was being make into a movie too, it's terrific! Highly recommended by Arts of life!......(I know it's outdated! But who cares!)

Links to the "Talking Book"


Well, here is a link where you could download tons of E-book in pdf format.
(Only can be read by using Adobe Reader)

And here is the link for downloading Adobe Reader if you don't have one.

After you setup everything, open an e-book and press "view" from the top bar, look for "read out loud", then the computer will start reading your books!
It's cool! Try it, you love it too!^@^

Books that talks....

I discover something new with my Adobe Reader software today (maybe most of the people already knew about it).
This software can read out my favorite novel, poems, short stories and nearly everything!
(I love that!)
So, I started to hunt for E-books that I dearly in love, have the computer(whoever was the narrator) read out loud!
(sure it's a fun way to discover literature, YEAH! :)
Now I can read a book while working with my computer.
People like me generally can't keep his mind still with just doing one single task, I prefer multiple tasks in one go. (a freaking working machine, that's what!) ^@^
Thanks for whoever has the ideas to install "human mouth" in a book!
