(no subject)
Making a note of the stuff I've read since the last post, in no particular order:
I really feel like there should be one or two more at least, things I got from the library and forgot to make note of. Ah well. On the audiobook side, I've listened to Casino Royale and Live and Let Die in their entirety. (Holy crap, is that latter definitely of its time; the racial references were pretty cringe-worthy.) I ♥ the XM Sonic Theater channel; I can't listen to audiobooks at work because I can't pay enough attention to them, but they're great for the commute. Unfortunately Sonic Theater breaks things up into half-hour chunks on a set schedule, so it takes much longer to listen to the whole thing. I'm afraid to look at how many weeks the current production of War and Peace is going to take to wrap up, at 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week.
