    • 2022 September 16, James Parker, “An Ode to Being Read To”, in The Atlantic[1]:
      When I’m listening to an audiobook, I’m being entertained like a tired ploughman. I’m being lulled, bardically lulled, like a drunken baron at a long feast table, pork grease shining on my chin. I’m being quieted like a child. I’m being spellbound like a face caught in firelight.
