Recommend Hope Davis reading <i>Divisadero</i> by Michael Ondaatje, which I hope to write about soon. Also, since you're finished with Harry Potter, try A Series of Unfortunate Events as narrated by Tim Curry. It's a perfect match-up!<br /><br />Hope you had a fabulous birthday!!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-78570458532596466192010-06-21T20:48:48.056-04:002010-06-21T20:48:48.056-04:00First of all, happy birthday!!

I am not one who is very comfortable with audio books. I just tend to wander away mentally when I am listening to an audio book, which makes me sort of sad, because there are some great ones out there. I am going to have to give them more of a try this year and see if I can get over my issues with audio books. I certainly envy you your success with them!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-77864503735513670702010-06-21T09:55:17.886-04:002010-06-21T09:55:17.886-04:00ok - I have favorite placed this post so I can ret...ok - I have favorite placed this post so I can return to it again and again.<br /><br />I think I am going to see if I can find The Shadow of the Wind (because the physical book has been on my shelf for over a year) and Shutter Island (because I LOVED the movie and want to "read" the book) to take with me this weekend.
