Reading List

[Stephen Brayton]

One of the cool things about blogs is to ask a question at the end to entice comments. Well, I want to ask one at the beginning.

What are you reading right now?

Okay, don't be literal and say, “Dude, I'm reading your blog.”

I mean your reading list of books.

Are you like me and have several going at once?

Currently, I am reading:

- A book I'm recording for a friend. I read a chapter or two when I get the chance. I use Audacity to make the recordings. Check it out, it's a pretty neat piece of software and I'm not using even a small fraction of it functions.

- A book on my Nook.

- An audio book in my car. I'm also using Audacity to cut up unabridged audio books into hour long chunks so that I can burn them onto rewritable CDs.

- A comic book in the bathroom. You know, for those times when I'm sitting in the bathroom.

In addition, I may be reading a Nook book that someone has sent me for review. Currently, I'm working on my own stuff, but for most of February and March, I was reading other books for review.

Before I started on the reviewing, I used to read two books at once. At a former motel job, I had a lot of time to write and read. So I would read one chapter of one story, then switch to another book for a chapter. I don't do that anymore and wouldn't want to go back to it.

I'm also one of those who can pick up a book that I haven't looked at for months and go right back into the story.

So, now that you've had time to think about the above question, I invite your answer.
