Misclellaneous Comment

 This is just a separate note about audiobook formats. I have begun to listen to more audiobooks, so of the books I reviewed in the last two years, about half were read by me, and the other half are ones that I've listened to. I've found more and more readers of the novels who I could not tolerate. It has caused me to abandoned some novels. I thought some readers were just overly dramatic. Some just had voices that I found annoying. In other cases, the pace of the reading was too fast or too slow. I plan to continue listening since it fits nicely into my lifestyle of doing a lot of dog walking, but I'm more aware of how much a bad reader can hurt my enjoyment of a story. Also, I think there have been a few excellent story readers who have kept me in a novel that I probably would not have enjoyed. I will try to carefully identify those books that I've listened to and make a comment about the reader's impact on the story.
