Liander (The Towering Pile) Lavoie (liannelavoie) | 106 comments I just found this and thought some of you might be interested! The Vienna Theatre Project is currently doing live readings of the One Thousand Nights and a Night as translated by Richard Burton! There's a playlist of the videos on YouTube. As of right now they're up to the 279th night.

I'm not sure what exact edition they're using. I just started the 16 volume version on Project Gutenberg, and when I started listening to the reading it's definitely shorter than what I'm reading, in terms of the prose being cut down somewhat.

I'm thinking I'm gonna keep reading the version I'm reading, but pause between stories and listen to the readings of them along the way, just to add to the experience. But you could also just listen to their readings and consider it read, since it's basically an audiobook!
