Today, when I was looking for something to listen to while I was working, I went to my tried and true learnoutloud.com, which I've previously mentioned. I've been listening to a lot of Mark Twain lately there and when I went to find something new of his to listen to, I discovered that I could find not one, not two but six of the books on the How Well Read Are You-American Literature Edition list that I posted the other day. So if you're looking for an easy way to knock a few of those pesky classics off the list, head on over there.
I'm quite enjoying Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." I had no idea the old gal was such a wit. And I knew that the book was something of a treatise against slavery, but this is biting social commentary at it's best.
Sounds great - I may have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious...what do you do that you get to listen to books while you work?? I'm feeling envious. I'm neck-deep in editing my novel and don't even have the energy to READ! Makes it kind of hard to be part of a reading community!
