I listen to audiobooks almost exclusively now, sadly my brain isn't wired for the concentration to sit and read anymore but an audiobook is great! Where do you get yours? Our public library has a pretty decent setup. I was going to do Audible but they only allow one book a month!

Ah, the old diehard!
As usual I am reading way too many things at once. So here's a rundown.
1. Lolita by Nabokov. Because I never have, and it's one of those books I
feel like I should have read. I've only just started it so haven't formed
an opinion yet.
2. Femmes du Chaos by Kristin Duval. She's a friend, and it's been on my
kindle for a while, so I thought it's time to read it! Short stories about
kickass women? My cup of tea, let me show you it. Also just started, but so
far it's what I expected from Kristin: twisted and dark and brilliant.
3. Silverthorn by Feist. Finally working my way through the riftwar books.
I'm not totally sold, honestly. They feel like fairly typical 15year old
boy books to me, and I'm annoyed by how every woman in them fits neatly
into a stereotype in a way I probably wouldn't have been if I'd read them
as a teen like everyone else did. But they're entertaining enough to keep
going. And I'm told the woman thing gets better in later books?
4. The Killing Floor by Lee Child, because everyone needs some fluff,
right?
5. Ovid's Metamorphosis, because I am a big nerd.
6. Flowers in the Attic, because I read a really interesting article about
these books, and had to reread them in light of it. Did I mention big nerd?
Yeah.
7. Making Money by Sir Pterry, because Pratchett, that's why.
8. Chronicles of Amber by Zelazny. I have a weird complex relationship with
these ones. I'm finding them dense and slow going, and yet pretty damned
original, so I can't stop reading them.
I am probably leaving something out. I tried for a while to only read one
book at a time, but apparently I suck at that.
