Heh heh, I have a confession: I'm at the library again. And I'm checking out other stuff.
Namely, The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Part I by M.T. Anderson, both the print and audio copies.
I think it might be fun to both listen to and read along with a book for a change. Oftentimes I try to read before bed, and while I'm not ready to actually fall asleep, I have a hard time concentrating on the page in front of me. Listening while reading, I'm hoping, will allow me to still concentrate while not necessarily having to focus on each individual word with blurry eyes!
So, what else?
Oh yeah, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield.
It's for an online book club I just joined; they're almost finished with it, so I'll have to put in some overtime on this one! (Yeah...right after Dr. Faustus, a collection of John Donne's poetry, Douglas' Narrative, and the other Current Reads sliding all over my shelf.... *scratches head* Am I insane?
No, you don't need to actually answer that...)

Which Faust are you reading? Marlowe, Goethe, or the new one?
Marlowe. This one, actually...Love it, love it, love it! :)
I've never tried reading &listening to a book at the same time-I bet it'll be interesting! I fall asleep to audiobooks as well, so there's always a lot of jumping around on a CD the next day, trying to figure out where I was when I fell asleep! lol
I enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale; I hope you do too!
I really enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale! I hope you do too!
