Another Book Thread

Re: Another Book Thread

I recommend Albert Camus' "The Plague." In addition to being an enjoyable (and quick) read, a great novel, and a fascinating exposition of philosophy, it is also following our epidemic note for note.

Went to the library to return my books; the notice is to keep them until they reopen. Even the after-hours return slot is closed.

I dropped mine into the overnight bin the morning they decided to close the library 2 weeks ago. I downloaded a couple the other day and they still have them checked out to me except now they are due on May 20th.

How do you currently read your books?

Had a thought - will future archeologists be able to read about our culture if everything is only an eBook?

I tend to read real books except on vacation then I take my kindle because it's easier than toting around 8-10 books.

Re: Another Book Thread

Just signed up for Audible, since their availability is better for new books. I don't plan on paying for individual books, but I'll try it out and use my free credits. Currently listening to Cactus League by Emily Nemens. Just finished The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - pretty good.

My library has 2 digital resources for e-audiobooks - Hoopla and Libby. Hoopla has better availability. Both interfaces suck and I can't wait until the library is open again.

I've been thinking of listening to The Count of Monte Cristo. Never read it. However, it is 50+ hours. I don't have any more free time than I had last week (less, actually). Still worth the time?

Neat. Thanks.

The Comedy of Terrors was on TCM last night. He wrote it. But if something was interesting or screwball between 1955 and 1970 and on radio, TV, or movies, odds are it was written by either him, Arch Obler, George Lefferts (still alive at 98!), Ernest Kinoy, or Robert Sheckley.

Currently listening to an audiobook, have a paperback by the bed and a hard cover library book in progress.

Audiobooks when I am walking. Started using it a few months ago. Not so keen on it if I am at home.

No kindle, ebooks. Can't seem to pay attention to them.

Hardcover or paperback. Added audiobooks since my concussion (also had to switch to large print - not back to regular print yet).

Lately, I've had to add e-audiobooks (via Libby and Hoopla), because my library is closed.

Hardcover and paperback. I love the medium, just like with music I won’t go digital.
