DXM, the book was reviewed on Smart Bitches Trashy Books
Thanks for letting me know.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The review is here. They're mostly for romances, but they do review other genres. And the daily books on sale is a bit too tempting for me.

Audiobooks only work for me if I have a migraine. Otherwise my brain slides away from listening.

Lately they have been helping me fall asleep if I'm too anxious, but my usual is to only listen to them when I'm driving.

Because books.
What I'm craving right now is big full-color illustrated coffee table books about fascinating things, like a history of fashion or ballet or pastry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Audiobooks + driving = perfection

I look more rad than Lutheranism
When I'm driving, I have to listen to audiobooks I've already read. If I haven't read them before, I get too absorbed in them and don't pay attention to the road.
I can also never listen to a David Sedaris audiobook while I'm driving, because I almost ended up in a ditch that way once.

I had much the same happen to me with listening to "Blue Bayou" during a 3 a.m. drive. I love Linda Ronstadt, but not quite enough to die for her.

Driving long distances on long boring freeways, I should say. If I have to do a lot of turning or negotiating traffic, then no.

However, I'm down with a really bad migraine today, so I am listening to an audiobook. If you like slow-build creepy, Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand is excellent.
