I finally bit the bullet, took my laptop to the local
library and learned about downloadable audio books. The librarian and her assistant were so
helpful and, after going through all the steps on how to download, actually got
me going and said I could call if I had any questions. Knowing me, I will be doing this. It worked!
I actually spent the time listening as I walked to and from my workout
place, most Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays since October 1st. I have read Ogawa before in The Housekeeper
and the Professor.
The delightful eleven dark tales are, indeed, dark, but more
fun than that is they all are connected to each other. Told by a variety of characters, the two, a male
and female voice, take turns in telling their respective tales. The book is divided into four parts of about
one hour each. If you’d like to read (or
rather listen to) something macabre for this season of the year, Revenge is it!
I’m looking forward to my next dab (that’s downloadable
audio book) and it can be from any library that has this format in their
inventory. Did I say I think I’m going
to like using downloadable audio books?
My vehicle is a tiny MP3 Clip Sport player that fits in my pocket with
small ear buds, too. So less encumbering
than my old CD player and big earphones.
And you don’t have to return it to the library – everything can be done
remotely.
