Just in time for National Library Week
I actually got a couple of audiobooks from the Broward County library system, so I can cancel the fatwa against them. So nice to have something to listen to in the car after The Diane Rehm Show is over (or before it begins, for that matter). First up: David McCullough's 1776. The author reads the book, and so far it's not bad, though I'd have to say it falls more the "like" scale than the "love" scale, but I've only heard 2 discs so far.
I also got Geraldine Brooks' March, in keeping with the theme of books about American wars.

Yeah, well, apparently they called me yesterday afternoon to let me know my John Adams audiobook is in too! It's an embarrassment of riches. And JAdams is probably 40 cds or something.

Update: 1776 has gotten really good!

Another update: John Adams does not come with 40 CDs. It comes with TWENTY SIX. And I have 2 weeks to finish it (or the library police come after me?) I am not sure I can actually pull this off...
