The author is an American man and he writes from the point of view of a Japanese woman. And not just a normal Japanese woman, but someone from a subculture rarely discussed.Katie Reushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085461796363818906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-28856973861610845282008-08-18T22:08:00.000-05:002008-08-18T22:08:00.000-05:00I've read maybe ten of those 106, yet five more si...I've read maybe ten of those 106, yet five more sit on my bookshelf, unread. <I>How did they know?</I><BR/><BR/>Life of Pi is a spectacular book--I've read it at least eight times.

There are 15 I've either started and given up or only read sections of. I have seen movie versions of many of the books. In the case of the Jane Austens, I've read all of them and seen more than one movie version of each. <BR/><BR/>David Copperfield's my favorite.

It's unlikely that I would ever lug home War and Peace, but with the audio version I can listen at work, in the car or even load it on my MP3 player. A lot of libraries also have audio subscriptions--you can download books through your library's website to your PC for free. <BR/><BR/>If I listen to a 10-hour recording of a book I end up hating, at least I got a couple of days of work in, or two weeks worth of commutes during that time :)<BR/><BR/>BethanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
