Well, you've heard me talk a lot about The Audiobook Library Card. It's like Netflix for audiobooks, you can listen all you want, 18 years of recordings, there's tons of stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm so happy to announce that now it's possible to buy multiple licenses and SHARE THE AUDIOBOOK LIBRARY CARD with your nearest and dearest.
Maybe you're a family with a few bookworms who commute. Maybe you're a tutor with students who struggle to read. Maybe you're a therapist whose clients have trouble sleeping. Whatever the case, now you can extend the wonders of unlimited listening of the Classic Tales Library to your kith, kin, colleagues and compatriots.
And the introductory prices are outrageously low. Like, five licenses for $19.99/month. Five. And it just gets better from there. Again, it's the best deal on the internet.
Once you buy a subscription, we'll set you up to share with the people on your plan. Cancel anytime. It's a smorgasbord of listening enjoyment for all your friends and relations.

Today's story established the format for the short story "In a Grove", by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story. "In a Grove" influenced the great Akira Kurosawa to create the film Rashomon. The concept being that two witnesses can give widely different accounts of the same factual event.
It may also serve as William James's thesis that "it is not so much the truth of events that matters, but how they are perceived, and the difference that they make to the perceiver". I hope you like it.
And now, "The Moonlit Road", by Ambrose Bierce
