Somē<p>I've been listening to Werner Herzog's memoirs 'Every man for himself and god against all'. I don't know what the general consensus is about Herzog, but all I knew of him before I started the memoirs was the incredibly angsty nihilistic clips of him talking about the jungle. I liked the way he spoke because it was iconic in some fashion. I found out his memoirs were narrated by himself straight away and was hooked first by his voice, then by his stories. </p><p>I was surprised to find none of the angsty nihilism in his memoirs! The way he told his stories was very down to earth. I thought the phrases were even too small in proportion to what he was really talking about. I thought he was just a filmmaker, but quite consistently, he recounts something shocking, made even more so by the down-to-earthness. 6 foot arrows killing his film extras. Child soldiers. Barefoot in the mountains. Duping PRC policemen. His voice recounts things so matter of factly, almost as if these things were normal. </p><p>Even his romanticism - dropping all belongings and travelling to a foreign land for one true love, hitchhiking across the world dependent on kindness of strangers and the likes - felt other worldly.</p><p>Anyways, if you don't know anything else about this man, I totally recommend listening (key!) to his memoirs. It's like having a pariah german uncle tell you stories after bedtime when you're supposed to sleep but don't want to.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/herzog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herzog</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/memoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoir</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audiobooks</span></a></p>
