Sitting and trying to focus on a narrative story being told, I found my mind wandering and I would have to rewind (which also happens when I'm reading, but at least I can just flick my eyes back up to the top of the paragraph and start over). For some reason, I like reading myself, not being read to. Different brain function, different art form.<BR/><BR/>However, I do enjoy the old (and new) radio drama programs quite a bit. And Stephen King is such an accessible writer that in spite of the fact that I've not read much of his recent stuff, there's a reason why he's the most popular author in modern history. (I think I read all of his stuff up until INSOMNIA or THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON, and haven't picked up the ball since.)<BR/><BR/>Great blog, Aly!Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066446077607187774.post-76849591119447984092009-03-06T17:24:00.000-06:002009-03-06T17:24:00.000-06:00Aly - living in the DC metro area, I find that I a...Aly - living in the DC metro area, I find that I also have to spend a great deal of time commuting in my car and actually listen to old time radio shows in MP3 format - Lights Out, Dark Fantasy, and Quiet Please. But this CBC radio show from the early 80's called Nightfall will chill you to the marrow if you manage to get it copied on to cd: http://www.archive.org/details/NightfallOTRKIBM<BR/><BR/>I had to order mine off of ebay and these shows are much scarier than commuter hell. Just listen to the first one and you'll be hooked.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Charles M. KlineCHARLEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657494317608654772noreply@blogger.com
