B. J. Harrison Reads The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by B. J. Harrison

“I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

When Benjamin Button is born he looks oddly like an old man. He's not interested in playing with other kids and he's too low on energy to participate anyway. When Benjamin turns 20 it dawns on his family that he is aging backwards. The younger he grows, the more he learns to embrace life. But can happiness prevail when you're on a different timeline than everyone else?

Both humorous and melancholic, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is a captivating short story that will make you think. In 2008, David Fincher adapted it to the oscar winning film of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
