What Fiction are you reading this week, August 19, 2018? [View all]

Some books feel like a really long climb
Origin by Dan Brown, for example. I got the audio version through my digital library and listened as often as I could but at 2 weeks end I still had a couple hundred pages left and I had to turn it in because someone else wanted it. So, I went to the library and got the actual book. Now I'm trying to get through those last pages because I really do want to find out what it's all about. One thing I found to be better about the physical book is that you can see the symbols which play a part in this story.
I am listening to Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson. It's not fiction but it is hysterically funny, in parts, and it was the only thing on my list that was available at the digital audio library right now. I still do not understand why only one person at a time can hear a digital book. Imagine if only one person at a time could listen to a podcast. SMH.
