I'm getting the feeling that I would've enjoyed The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M.T. Anderson better as a paper book than audio book. I'm finding it hard to get drawn in by this one.

The performance was given mostly four star reviews, so I think maybe it's just me not doing a great job of listening to this story.

You can listen to a sample here. Let me know what you think!

Audio books, audio books, and MORE audio books!

I was given the great gift of an audible member ship for my birthday and Christmas. Now I'm ready to select out a bunch of books...

Here's what's on my list so far:






Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins












The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M.T. Anderson















The Magicians by Lev Grossman
