Suggest a book - an audiobook!
I am looking for some good bedtime reading - I mean LISTENING.
I have been listening to The Odyssey, and have ordered "Audacity of Hope" from the SJ library but it's going to take weeks to get it. I can't seem to order the Iliad from them online - I can only find it via WorldCat so I am going to print out the page and walk it in.
The requirement is that it has to be something that won't set me up for unpleasant dreams (okay so the slaughter part of the Odyssey was no winner there. Still, I could enjoy the technical details of how they dealt with the miasma afterwards). I have already read "Three cups of Tea" (loved it)
but you can't suggest a book Amazon doesn't list an audio-book.
Over the last year or so (esp with sleeping in Katie's room) is that I am finding that it often takes me over 30 annoying minutes to fall asleep. I used to blame Elan's sleep mask or the fish tanks, but Katie's rooms is REALLY quiet. It's just me, and any little thing annoys me and becomes the external irritant to an internal problem. But listening to Katie's mediation CD? ZONK.
I would really like to stay awake and listen to the entire Odyssey, so when I come home from college all wound up on coffee and take over an hour to fall asleep? I don't mind a bit!
The irony is with my mp3 player I don't think I have made it past 30m.
I am a side sleeper so I wish I had more comfy ear plugs than my workout ones, so I just listen with my right ear. And it's a bit weird to wake up tangled in the cord, but I am able to sleep in my own comfy bed!
