(And I do occasionally replay pieces if I feel like I've missed something significant.)Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-15091889602333273932009-05-12T08:02:00.000-06:002009-05-12T08:02:00.000-06:00I hear you.

I just don't have the patience to wait for some dude to tell me the story at his own pace and, like you said, for some reason, he refuses to read the same paragraph 4 times just because you want him to. And that's my attitude toward audio versions of 'accessible' fiction.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Stephenson but I just can't imagine trying to digest his stuff while someone reads it to me.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
