Whenever there are spoken lines, he instantly switches from narrating to acting, going into character for whoever is speaking. It's pretty amazing.

Downtown Owl is a cool book, the ending is really good imo as well. I got his new novel for Christmas, but haven't started it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonny guitar Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 RE: Audiobooks...Check with your local library's website: my library is linked up to the a regional library to go with 1000's of audio books that can be checked out for 3 weeks at a time (if you put them on your ipod, you can keep them there as longs as you like).I love my audiobooks..usually I listen to books I have already read unless it is a pulp book in which case the audiobook format works great without the added comprehension from reading first.

The 21st chapter was omitted from the editions published in the United States prior to 1986. I'm safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jhamnett Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Finished A Storm of Swords last night, starting A Feast for Crows today. My gf got me A Dance with Dragons for Xmas and hoping to have that finished in time for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slamcityjam Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Halfway through A Feast for Crows. Started reading A Clash of Kings the day after the last episode aired. I wonder how much his numbers has gone up after HBO's Game of Thrones...I guess I'll finish the existing title in the series and then move on to any Haruki Murakami book that I haven't read yet.

Members Gunner Recall Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Took a break from snotty smart people books and read the Hunger Games series.It's a great read, until a good chunk of the way into Mockingjay when it falls completely on it's face. WTF Suzanne Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also really enjoyed libra, which is a book he wrote about lee harvey oswald and the kennedy assasination. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
