Re: Books

I cannot find you on GoodReads! You are apparently under a different email address there than Facebook and Twitter? Because it won't let me find you. I'm here: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5871454-rockinlibrarian (http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5871454-rockinlibrarian) Anyone reading this, feel free to add me. I'm not there much, and even less now that I seem to have Gone Off Reading (today I went and deleted the two books that had been on my "Currently Reading" shelf since October that I'd actually returned to the library unread), but there I am nonetheless.

I think nonfiction that comes across as good on audio is even MORE likely to be enjoyable in paper form-- what with pictures and such. Whereas the opposite is less likely to be true. At least with nonfiction. A great narrator can sometimes give fiction a spark it wouldn't have had otherwise.
