Insomnia downloads of the week

from Librivox:


Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, The by Khayyám, Omar

this is the FitzGerald "translation" that is more of a paraphrase of the original but a masterpiece in itself.

=====================
but if you really have trouble sleeping, try
Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant by Grant, Ulysses S.

or Easy Lessons in Einstein by Edwin E. Slosson

and if you are really having trouble relaxing, just listen to:

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue by Hope, Laura Lee
