In this excerpt, you'll learn how the esteemed British author got hooked on the soporific drug, against whose recreational or medicinal use he's not exactly explicit in warning us! \nHere on Pneuma, it should be said, we promote sobriety and wholesomeness, above all else. My reading of De Quincey is not an endorsement of his inebriated approach to life. \nSubstitute my voice for your opiates and fall right asleep! \nIf you have a book you want read in a sleepy style, or if you have an original work that you'd like me to read, drop me a line at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com. \nBe sure to subscribe to this channel, share it with friends, like this video, and leave a five-star rating! \nThank you. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9nhvrEDXeA1Im6ACgqukO18eM3wbLU389-iPUb8KO9A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xYWFm/MDM3MTgxMmQ4Mjhl/M2YyMDJmZmRkNGY4/N2E1Yy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
