For this to work, a small electronic card would come with most books. One would put this card into a small palm-pilot sized device, and clip it onto the back of their book. A very sensitive row of photocells would tell what page the person was on, by the thickness of the pages. A small camera would
watch a person's eyes, and when they reached a word or phrase that required the sound effect, the sound effect would be played. The card would hold the different sound effects, and some information about the book (title, author, number of pages, etc.) A possibly more accurate way of the device knowing what page you are on is by punching the page number into it when you turn it on, and then it counts whenever you flip the page. It should also notice when you open the book and announce which page you were on. Headphones should be optional.

I will criossant this, but I think that nothing could compare to the sound effects in my imagination. |

"DANIEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" |
|

"WELL, KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE!" |
|

You know, I never said you *had* to use thing. If you don't want sound effects, don't buy one. |
|

You just never knows with one new people, whew? |

For the younger among us, Brian Eno was a founding member of the Rolling Stones who, for all her good looks, sang and played like a man. |
|
| |
The banjo solo on " give me some pop-corn , sweet jane " defined the genre for two decades. |
|

She abandoned playing in public in 1959 after a work-related injury. The recordings we are left attest to the brilliance of this finely tuned musical soul.
Nowdays, Brian is pumping gas in Adelaide. " it's none of your f***ing business ", she said, earlier this week when I asked her how she felt about how she get's along with Charlie, Mick and Kieth these days......... |

America? Is that like a musical equivalent of Ikea? |
|

Kind of. They did "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair", and "Ventura Highway" back when Eno first joined. |
|
| |
Yes ENO's seminal influence wets much of what we now know as the Juppa-Juppa sound, which happens when you nearly fall asleep at the wheel and straddle those bumpy things between the lanes. |

Apparently he was one of the first to offer to "tune" offices by organising all the beeps on the electronic equipment to play in chords of tuneful harmony.... |
