I was doing a random search, looking for Prufrock-themed desktops (though I don't actually know what that would be), when I found this site which, as you'll see, at the top of the page has what they say is an mp3 of T.S. Eliot reading "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." I don't know if it's the genuine thing--how can I know what he sounded like?--but it's certainly strange and odd and evocative, and very worth listening to.

So yeah...listen to it. I have nothing else to say.

(a) Prufrock-themed desktops!? So cool, and yet so... disturbing...

(b) I didn't actually listen to the mp3 (it's a poem from which I'm trying to escape, rather than wallow in, just at the moment), so I can't say that's authentic, but there are certainly plenty of recordings of T.S. Eliot out there (e.g.: http://www.harperaudio.com/more_eliot.htm if you want to buy some!).

(c) Or how about The Wasteland?
