# 7 // Read then sleep (1999)
Get the following books by Graham Greene: The end of the affair, The heart of the matter, Brighton Rock, The power and the glory. Write following texts with a pencil, in the foot of pages as indicated below: In The end of the affair, page 46-54: By now you may hear the hum of the clock radio. You are not asleep, you are alone, even if someone is sleeping beside you, the hum drowns out the sound of his or her breathing. In The heart of the matter, page 60-67: By now you may hear the hum of the radio. It is dark night, you are tense and alert, but you do nothing. The one thing louder than the hum is the sound of your pulse pounding through the mattress. In The power and the glory, page 82-87: By now you may hear the hum of the radio. The silence is eliminated, the faintest snap and you are ready to fight for your life. In Brighton rock, page 24-31: By now you may hear the hum of the radio. You are tense, but you do nothing. You hear every sound, you feel all vibrations, you sense the air; you are prepared for everything. Enter a bedroom at night, there should be a bed and a small table with a lamp and a radio. The radio should be turned off, but with the electric chord still inserted. If you read the books from the beginning, you will hear the electrical hum of the radio clearly when you reach the handwritten text. Your perception is out of control.
