Ooh and I see that now you are reading On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. I'll be interested in seeing what you have to say about that.
Now, how can you read all these books, work at the library, blog, write great novels, film great movies, and learn to order beer in Russian???
It boggles the mind. Do you ever sleep?
I am impressed with all the books you read. Very impressed.
Well, I didn't READ War and Peace in one month ... I started it in January and FINISHED it this month. Seriously, audible is the answer. I listened to 1984, War and Peace, and Ivanhoe, all while doing the dishes. As for writing novels ... well, let's not broach that subject right now.
Thanks for stopping by, Sally and Heather!
Hey, you recognized me? I was incognito.
Man! My cover's blown. =0)
I've never tried the audio books. I keep thinking I'm going to give them a try one of these days when I have to drive on a long trip.
how was ivanhoe?
It was different than I expected, Marie. Though I'm not sure what I did expect, really. I remember when Lucy reads it in the Ballad of Lucy Whipple, and it sounds like the most amazing story ever, and then when I read it, it was like, eh. Not bad, but not stupendous.
Sally: Must. Try. Audiobooks.
