Tilda Swinton and The Raw Shark Texts

[TheMrLandon]

Wonderful. I literally just got done reading this passage in the book and frankly, was ready to set it down. But I wasn't reading the passage in Tilda Swinton's voice. Just a brilliant read by Ms. Swinton and what wonderful production values here; I'm hooked. Back to reading.

i love the book...i just keep reading it...but this passage, read in such a way...fantastic.... /bows

[vomitbag12]

does anyone else recognize the irony of Tilda reading The Raw Shark Texts? Brilliant!

[dizivee]

A beautiful meditative reading of a glorious text.

I ordered the book immediately after seeing this video. Haven't read it yet - but there's so much truth in this little passage (at leat what I conceive as truth), it makes me want to cry for joy! The streams of human interaction.. those linking streams flowing in and between people... keep looking, keep watching! I cant wait to start reading!

[nedlimpopo]

Best book video ever. Not a bad book either.

Two Jurassic Park memes came up from the pool though.

[VWV0088]

SOOO KOLD....BURRRR..

[bronlokis]

wow, holy shit.... took me unawares.... that was awesome... only tilda could pull this off!

[GDATERRY]

Was one of my favourite parts of the book. Kept rereading it.

We often take these little things for granted. I like that this passage brings that to attention.

[LunaSeaSane]

Wonderful.

@jedholder, it's in chapter 6.

[clairenunavut]

where can i find this passage? i dont ha e the book :(

[jcgalad]

This is absolutely fantastic! Bloody hypnosis!

Tilda's voice is so poised and yet eloquent, it indeed helps one feel the rhythm of the text and merge with its atmosphere. I'd say this piece is better than the "Tractatus" - it helps one find oneself in the numberless dimensions of thoughts and feelings that swarm the Universe.

[Dalsemien]

Fantastic in itself! Makes me think of Wittgensteins "Tractatus".

[WHYTRIP206]

Okay Tilda. You win the staring contest...because I fell asleep.

[soniccage]

Short attention span ?

[galadriel1969]

Please, Tilda, could you read the whole book? :o)

[Kristhor]

you lazy bum! read it yourself!

[galadriel1969]

I read it.

[soniccage]

She's beautiul... You're probably spoonfed by the dumbing-down mainstream media

[vjdavj]

I remember reading through that passage and thinking... Wow! this if f*in brilliant! People! READ THE BOOK!!! didn't know fiction could get this exciting and thought provoking!

[fidg3ts]

viva tilda!

[b2hova]

[brian8793]

[JustCallMeFuma]

Her eyes are tantalizing...

[MonsterEatsKids]

i'm currently reading the book, and i recently read through this portion of the novel. however, she did forget to read a certain text during the end.

[snowboardboy1382]
