The UK's Beautiful Books is releasing an audiobook of the Kama Sutra, a 2nd-century Sanskrit text about human relationships, spirituality, and cool new ways of doing it. Beautiful Books's managing director suggests that game listeners "may also consider using the audio book as a step-by-step manual for improving bedroom techniques, without the need to stop and start with constant reference to a book. Just press play and follow Tanya's directions."

In this case, at least, "just follow Tanya's directions" refers to the fact that the books are read by one Tanya Franks, a redheaded TV actress. They're not available for preview, just full paid download, but you can listen to Ms. Franks's voice on many YouTube clips, including this one, and imagine what she sounds like describing the Congress of the Crow.

Isabelle "Don't call it 'The Ball Thing'" Huppert was, apparently, unavailable.

When she was finished, she woofed once, licked my face, and curled up next to me on the sofa. She appeared deeply satisfied."
