I love audio books and think them the ultimate comfort when I'm tired. I just wanted to say that Meg Rosoff's How I Live Now was one of the best books of the year a little while back - I thought it was stunning. And I've often wondered whether I could get over James Joyce block by listening to Ulysses on tape or CD. It might make for quite an experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
