I have been listening to audio books for more than a year. I wonder how or why I didn't start that earlier. I have already finished Spanish lessons, of more than 30 hours, Freakonomics, few books on management and also Fahrenheit 451.
for last three days I have been listening to Farewell to Arms. It takes care of my driving time, one hour either way. Earlier I wasted lot of time just sitting in traffic. At other times I heard NPR, or songs, or when desperate, heard 750 AM, listening to idiots like Neils Bohrtz and Shawn Hennety.
Now back to Farewell to Arms - to Lt. Fredric Henrey, "Tenente", Catherine Barkley, priest and Renaldi. What a story teller Hemmingway is! I earlier read his "old man and the sea". It was good, but not that good. but this book, what a yarn he has woven. I almost see & smell Miss Barkley. Though I know how it is going to end (my impatience! have already been to Wiki!!) it is still going to be fun to go through complete story.
