“I read while I’m driving. I read while I’m walking. I read on the subways and on those interminable marches through the airport.’ How audio books have changed ruthreichl’s reading life.
The many lovely spaces that surround me are constantly trying to seduce me into sitting down to read. There’s that big chaise longue in the living room, the one right in front of the window nook, which never stops reminding me what a perfect spot it is for a lone reader. The worn red sofa in my rustic writing cabin is equally insistent.
I used to read in all the expected places. Then audiobooks came along and everything changed. Suddenly the reading possibilities were expanded beyond my wildest childhood dreams. Now I read everywhere. I read while I’m driving. I read while I’m walking. I read on the subway and on those interminable marches through the airport. I read in the supermarket, while stocking up on groceries, and in the kitchen when concocting a stew.
Perhaps you consider this cheating? Listening, I know, is different than reading, but I cannot think of a single way that I’d rather spend time. Being read to is a special treat: In the hands of a talented reader a great book becomes even more magnificent. I love listening so much that when I’m in the middle of a really wonderful novel I will find any excuse to climb into my car and run off to do errands. It may look like I’ve just grabbed my keys for a trip to the cleaners, but the truth is I can’t wait to head back into Claire Lombardo’s world. “The Most Fun We Ever Had” is a remarkable first-time novel offeringintimate picture of people’s interior lives I feel as if every one of these characters is now a close friend.
Happily, another good book is waiting in the wings. Next up: Sally Rooney’s “Normal People.” I’m pretty sure it will also send me off on many unnecessary errands.
