Listening

This book took a long time for me to get through. Non fiction, takes place in Berlin, 1933. It is a stunning eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold, as witnessed through America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany, William Dodd & the people around him.  It was both horrifying and illuminating.  But I was glad for the experience.

Then I tried to listen to Walden.  The classic.  I guess I wasn't in the mood, or maybe I didn't like the sound of reader's voice, but I bailed after the first CD.  Will have to try again maybe in the winter?

Next.....

I had read this once, but it was delightful to listen to again.   Clearly I am a fan of Muriel Barbery.  I think I enjoyed it even more the second time.  And I think my dear Claude might also smell like brioche.

and now...

Just started this today.   The author was recommended by a reader of this blog!!! Thank you so much! I can say, I am loving it, and just one disc in.   It is perfect for me to work to, I'm hungry for the words.
