I'm currently listening to Stephen Fry reading the Jeeves and Wooster - they are enjoyable - luxury having someone read to you, and all the better for being a true fan of the books.
Adrian McKinty is an Irish crime fiction author. His Sean Duffy series is excellent, and is read by the marvelous Gerard Doyle. Highly recommended, esp. if you enjoy crime fiction. Start with The Cold Cold Ground.
Thank you Cha for your analysis on "A Guide To The Good Life", you raised some really interesting points I hadn't considered with the trichotomy of control. Appreciate the insights!
I read 10 books but in late November and up until the Christmas holidays, I didn't read one single line. Sorry for your first read of the year, one star ! well, I enjoyed your rant ! I don't like it either when authors take us for "dumb" people and need to warn/explain everything ahead ...
