How to "Read" Safely While on the Road

Littlewomen Yesterday, I started listening to Little Women while driving. I can't think why I never did this on those long drives to the office, before I moved, and each one-way trip took me 45 minutes. I have the cassette version (12 tapes) of the edition in the pic (left) - I chose it because I could not find a CD version at the time I was looking (someone was offering to buy me an audio book as a gift and I really wanted Little Women).

Just as well since my car does not have a CD player. However, audio books in CD format make more sense as they last longer. (Audio books are the perfect answer to Klang Valley traffic jams so maybe I should invest in a player for the car.)

I am loving Little Women, read beautifully by Sandra Burr, who does amazing things with her voice - it sounds like there's a whole cast performing the different parts.

I wish I had Good Wives too, but a convincing reading of Jo's rejection of Laurie just might be too hard to bear.

    November 2008: Antoinette Portis: Not a Box
    A box is a box is a box. Right? Wrong! A box is a racecar, a mountain, a robot, a skyscraper, a hotair balloon, a pirate ship ... basically anything and everything you want it to be. This book is about how imagination can transform an object, and your life! Rabbit and his box are rendered in black ink, while red embellishments show readers just where Rabbit's flights of fancy take him and his "not-a-box". Absolutely brilliant!
