That is the answer to the second why, why did I listen to this book? Because I wanted to see what it was like to download an audio book from the library, and this was one of the more interesting looking books that was actually available (I did put Murakami’s memoir about running on a wait list, because that’s meta and maybe it’s time to try giving Murakami a second chance). The downside is that you don’t get that much of a selection and most of the books I happened to want to listen to were being borrowed by other people. So I looked to see if you could borrow and download audiobooks from the library, and you can, and it’s free! Huzzah! I didn’t know how long it would take to listen to an audio book (A week and a day would be the answer, but without a long run, it would have been easily under a week if I had done on a long run this past week), but it seemed kind of expensive to get to listen to one book. I then discovered that it’s basically the price of a trade paperback a month, and for that price you get to listen to one book in the month. So I decided to go online and see what his Audible thing is all about. This led to thinking, I bet I could listen to audio books, too.
And then I discovered I could listen to podcasts at 1.5 times the normal speed and that was really fun because I could get through more of them and learn more interesting things. Instead, I decided I could listen to podcasts, and that was fun.
I tried listening to music, but I remembered that I don’t generally like music anymore, and the fairly small number of songs I can still stand to listen to I’m kind of bored with. If I don’t I just listen to myself gasping for breath and that’s not very interesting. I learned that running is better if I listen to something while I’m doing it. If you read a recent review of mine you might have stuck around through the long-winded asides and nonsense and read that I’ve been running. Why and why? (why listen to an audio book and why this book) Having never seen the actual book I couldn’t tell if it was really as sparse as it felt at times.Īlso I have never listened to an audio recording of a book in its entirety before.

First, because I didn’t trust that the version I was reading (shit, I mean listening to) was the full book, you know that it wasn’t abridged. And if you don’t read the words in a book is it a book? Deep, right? Instead, I listened to it. I wrote, ‘review this book’ but I didn’t read it.

I actually don’t know how to review this. This book was probably more ‘truthful’ (who knows though), but I preferred the Hughes from Ellroy’s USA Trilogy, or as he’s known through most of it, Dracula. It helps when you have hundreds of millions of dollars at your disposal to really craft the perfect level of crazy. If he hadn’t been fucking bonkers he would probably be totally reviled, instead he’s something of the uber-off his rocker celebrity.
