Sat, 05 Nov 2005 00:12:49 +0000 http://www.miettecast.com/?p=78#comment-119 The nylon did more than work-- perhaps it was the experience of reading into freshly stretched nylon that made the Kafka go down a little lighter. How do people manage that with a straight face free of fantasy? The last time I'd had my mouth that close to nylon... never mind. And yea, my problem selecting a Kafka for myself seemed to stem from an inability to loosen my hold on the stories I knew well, to approach it cold, which might allow me to pounce on it from an angle I otherwise wouldn't. This is another reason the librivox recordings are so fascinating as a listener-- as you progress from chapter to chapter (and reader to reader), you're not only dealt the story, but the variety of voice, interpretation, style. Incidentally, I've always wanted those I know with audiolit projects to select the same piece and read it on the same date for this very reason-- how interesting might it have been had you read the same Kafka without hearing my take on it? Let that roll around in your head a while... Ricky, I've long been planning O'Connor, but I've encountered the exact same problem as with Kafka-- those I know too well (and thus -want- to read) I don't think I can! I do have a fresh collection of Welty that I've been hoping to crack... perhaps this could be our lucky weekend!

Ricky, hi, welcome, glad you like it. I have a loud type of dog, the type who occasionally likes to interrupt podcasts to alert me to strangers on the stairs or the fact that she absolutely needs my attention Right This Second.

I just wanted to let you know all this - so you can maybe smile and know that your work is appreciated : ). Ricky ps. what type of dog do you have?
