Hello and welcome to my crappy channel! My name is Ricky and I am reading some books I like to try and improve my speaking, diction and recording proficiency. The dream would be to quit my career as a mediocre chef and do something like this instead.

I used to have another channel under my own name, but decided to move things here for a bit more privacy. The channel name and logo is what I used to use for organising punk gigs in my hometown flippin' donkeys' years ago. If you like the design, please check out my friend Shaun's art at @MrPictoCommissions

Feedback and suggestions are very welcome. Perhaps in the future I might branch over to other websites like librarybox, ACX or even twitch (if I ever bother to get a decent camera). If you want to commission a certain book (or whatever) to read, drop me an email to discuss cost; I'll probably do it mega cheap :)

I get asked where I'm from a lot. I was born in Bolton, England but I now happily live in Vienna, Austria since 2018.
