Listen to Werner Herzog Read Filthy Children’s Book Go the F**k to Sleep

Tuesday, Movieline brought you word about a special audio recording of Go the F**k to Sleep that Werner Herzog did for the New York Public Library to celebrate the release of Adam Mansbach’s new children’s book. Good news to report: a clip of the recording has surfaced online, and it’s as Herzog-ian as you would hope. “The windows are dark in the town child. The whales huddled down in the deep. I’ll read you one last book, if you swear you’ll go…” Well, you know. This is hilarious. Click through to watch.

When io9 proffered Community actor Donald Glover as a possible new Spider-Man , the internet seized on it as its new favorite meme.
