Long ago, I recorded Tarzan Of The Apes and Winged Pharaoh for a sweetheart. I told her that, when I was a little boy, my father used to read me bedtime stories when he was not out at an acting job†. She said she would love to have bedtime stories read to her. She also said she had always wanted to read Tarzan Of The Apes. In that time, I lived where it was warm and sunny and she lived in the frozen north country. I decided to read her some bedtime stories. Every once in a great while, you might hear a side comment for her. What can I say? I was in love. The rest is all reading from the book. The sweetheart is long gone. Now, only the books remain.
† Being a celebrated radio actor, my father would travel the New York subways to the basement of a skyscraper. He would take the elevator up to the floor with the radio broadcasting (live radio!) studio. As he entered, the director would say something like, “Hi Bill. You have four this evening.” The director would hand my dad a marked up script my dad had never seen before, with four different roles for him to play, all with different voices. After the broadcast, my father would ride the elevator down, and take the subway to the next skyscraper with another live radio studio in it. Two, three or even four acting jobs in one night! So when my father read to me, he would switch voices for every character in the story he was reading.
I favor audio books because you are able to use your computer, tablet or phone to listen to an audio book, anywhere in the world you have an Internet connection. Let me read these fine books for you as you relax at home, on a flight, on a train, or in a waiting room.
What an imagination Edgar Rice Burroughs had! See all his books.

Edgar Rice Burroughs
Tarzan Of The Apes
Like millions of other readers and moviegoers, as a youngster, the late Robert W. Fenton loved swinging through the jungle with Tarzan. As an adult his interest was revived when he bought Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana, California, and began writing a biography of Burroughs.
Burroughs' early years were far from promising. He was dropped from school, was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway—and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time.
Enjoy Tarzan Of The Apes, the world-famous 28 chapter story of a human baby, raised by a tribe of apes in the African jungle.

When a birth took place in the house of Pharaoh, the seer priests from the temple would always attend. They used their spiritual powers to view the spirits that accompanied the spirit who was being born into a human life. When they saw the greatness of the spirits who attended the birth of Pharaoh’s daughter, the entire country went into celebration because a winged soul would grow up to be a great leader and help the country and its people.
This book changed my life. It is Joan’s first book. It is a magnificent work of art. A gorgeous Las Vegas showgirl gave me this book. Her inscription reads, “There are simple breaks between the strong words to let your mind wander into infinity . . . Love to you and know your beauty. Regina. 6-10-1971”
Enjoy Winged Pharaoh, the 98 chapter story of Sekeeta, queen of Egypt.
This is an astonishing book. Not only is it a beautifully-written autobiography, it is also a historical portal into the lives and activities of people in the early 1900s. Her use of language is amazing—this book has the longest sentences I’ve ever read.
Primarily, this book is the story of a gifted psychic who slowly learns what her gifts are and how she should use them.
Enjoy Far Memory, Joan Grant’s 42 chapter auto-biography.

“I was conceived in the Blue Grotto at Capri in June 1906,” begins Joan Grant’s autobiography.
A fascinating, even breath-taking, account of a woman born with second sight and far memory, who, as a spirited child, believed these were abilities ALL the grownups in her Edwardian upbringing shared—but did not speak about—in polite society.
Having learned to disown her psychic abilities, Joan emerges perplexed and rebellious from the arms of her eccentric, yet very conventional family, determined to do what she can to heal the world.
She suffers heartbreak, finds friendship and marriage, rebels against the traditional role of women, and, in her late twenties, decides she must honor her unusual gifts despite her discomfort at being “different.”
The result was the publication of Winged Pharaoh in 1937 and a life ahead as a celebrated author, renowned for her wisdom and the very same psychic insights she had found it so hard to accept.

Aldous Huxley
The Art Of Seeing
In his later years, Aldous lived in the Hollywood Hills near the Hollywood reservoir. I never met him, but I met his wife, Laura. At that time all my friends and I knew of Aldous’ writings was his famous novel Brave New World.
None of us knew about another book he wrote: The Art Of Seeing.
Since this book is in the Public Domain, I can present it here as a PDF.
Your body runs on muscles. Wise people work out by lifting weights because:
Muscles! It’s the same with eyes. Eyes run on muscles. If you perform the correct eye exercises, as described in great detail in Aldous’ book, your eyes will get stronger and healthier. Glasses make your eyes weaker. Following the advice in The Art Of Seeing makes your eyes stronger.
Here is the first paragraph of the Preface of The Art Of Seeing.

Robert Fritz
The Path Of Least Resistance
I read this amazing book when I was a young man. The book changed my life. I just contacted Robert Fritz to ask permission to make an audio book out of his 1984 title. Sadly, Robert declined to write back to me himself. After forty years of book sales, Robert also declined to grant his permission.
Free PDFs of this book are all over the Internet, including right here. So if I am ever asked to remove the links to my PDF files, I will simply provide links to other provider’s PDF files.
Read The Path Of Least Resistance—Short Version
Read The Path Of Least Resistance—Full Book
The book explains two orientations people live by:
Creative people set their goals and then the path of least resistance is to easily and naturally make all the correct choices that will take them to the goal they have set. Their path of least resistance is staying “on mission” by skipping the things that will interfere with them reaching their goal(s).
Reactive/responsive people do nothing until something in their lives becomes intolerable. Then they hurry up to react to make the aggravation or annoyance go away as quickly as possible, after which they go back to doing nothing.
I used to be a reactive person. Changing into a Creative Orientation person changed my life. Even though Robert will not help me in this time, he helped me in the past so I am still grateful.

Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Beasts Of Tarzan
I recently discovered another Burroughs book I recorded for a sweetheart: The Girl From The North Country. This one was loaded with private messages. These have been removed leaving just the reading of the book.
Please enjoy this 21 chapter audio book.
Read by Sherman Keene.
Play The Beasts Of Tarzan
In this set of recordings I tried to fill my father’s shoes by performing in different voices for each character as he did when reading to me. This is when I learned just how powerful my father’s acting skills were. Not only could he perform from a script he was sight-reading (never seen before) and switch voices—he could perform while broadcasting on LIVE radio! Whatever was spoken in the radio studio went right out over the air. One of the shows he was a regular on was Dimension X. One scary story was of an alien takeover of the Earth. The aliens were able to take over a person’s body when that person would Lesnerize (sneeze).
I admit: I am NOT as good at this sort of reading as he was. I’m sure my father will forgive my sincere effort to perform one of his acting specialties.
My dad had an amazing ability to mimic what he heard. Long ago, when I was working at a recording studio, I had my dad record a simple phrase five times with exactly the same tone of voice and pronunciation. I then turned the mono tape upside down and played what he had recorded backward two or three times. Then, I had him SPEAK the sounds he had heard backwards as I recorded him again. When the tape of my dad speaking backwards was turned upside down we heard the voice of a visitor to our planet who had just learned his first phrase in English. It sounded WAY odd but you could understand every word. After describing how to perform this procedure in one of my technical books on sound engineering, I actually heard this sound again—when the “little person” in the TV series Twin Peaks was speaking with a very strange voice in the The White Lodge dream sequence.
If your phone has a recording system that will let you play sound you record backwards, you can try out this procedure yourself.

In this day and age, famous actors record the voices of animated characters in big-budget Hollywood movies all the time. My dad must be delighted.
