Read any good books lately?
OK Internet peeps, this summer when I headed out on a long weekend road trip, I asked for some audio book recommendations to keep me busy, and you really came through for me.
Well, this Friday I'm headed up the coast to New England for a few days, and from there I will drive to Ithaca to check things out overnight on my way across NY State to my sister's house on Lake Erie for Turkey day. From there, I will swing south to my parent's place for a few days before making the trek home to MD after the Holiday weekend.
All told, that's about 24 - 26 hours of driving to kill.
Music and book recommendations welcome. What's on YOUR iPod?
I really enjoyed "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by the "Kite Runner" author Khaled Housseini. Also, although I haven't tried it, I've heard good things about the Librivox site where you can listen to/download thousands of books free. Non-copyright-protected books are recorded and submitted on a volunteer basis by readers.
I know "Until I Find You" is in audio book... it's so super good if you can accept Irving's weirdness.
