If you've ever heard Herzog's commentaries on Aguirre, Wrath of God or on Fitzcarraldo, you know Herzog has a very soothing, measured, thoughtful voice ideal for the reading of a children's book. Now if he married his tone and his trademark brilliant interjections into a few children's classics, I'd listen to them every few weeks for the rest of my life. How about the remorseless, obscene murderous fertility of the jungle copulating with itself inserted into Where the Wild Things Are? Or Goodnight Moon with a few extra lines, like "Goodnight demented hope of a madman choking to death on the bloody spittle of his dreams?"
