Ok, this sounds weird, but if your attention wanders, I think you need to listen to your audio books FASTER.

My fave books of the month were ‘in love’ which is a memoir about a man’s decision to go to Switzerland for assisted suicide when dx’d with Alzheimer’s and Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro. In love was our book club and we had an excellent discussion. Nearly everyone had someone close to them die from Alzheimer’s.

I agree SO MUCH about the Jane Smiley, how fun. The one Adrian Mckinty book I read was quite bad, so I wasn't planning to read this, and I don't really do audio (my attention wanders, but such a smart way to read more when you're as busy as you must be), so in sum I have decided nothing. I liked The Corrections, but after Freedom and reading more ABOUT Jonathan Franzen I had put him on my no-fly list, but my principles are wobbly, so again, now indecisive. <br />Roo-al? Ha, ha, no.

I have been really worried that I won't like it as much as the others -- I feel like there is a theme of some of my favorite authors being pressured (although this is purely imagination on my part) to produce, and the book quality suffering drastically. <br /><br />Great Circle has been on my list for awhile and this really makes me eager to move it up to the top!<br /><br />Big Swiss sounds so interesting!!! But... maybe not?<br /><br />Now I am going to add The Island to my TBR! I love a good thriller, even if it doesn't hold up to scrutiny after the fact. Just SUCK ME IN, PLEASE. <br /><br />And I totally reject "Roo-al." No. That cannot be.Life of a Doctor's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267488942708510706noreply@blogger.com
