I love good audiobooks, too. Especially Lolita read by Jeremy Irons is a bloody tour de force.
But what makes me upset about audiobooks is the quality of the products themselves.
Some discs contain errors and the sound jumps here and there. I'm not talking about one particular title, but two of...

Soft Cheeks came out a year after the publication of Out. It's a story about a mother in search of her five-year-daughter who disappeared when her family and the mother's lover's family were staying at the lover's villa. The lack of my writing skills makes it sound like a silly joke but it's...

It's Netherbard; a combination term of 'nether' and 'bard.' I thought 'nether' (as in netherworld) meant 'lower' or 'underground.' In other words, I wanted my handle name to mean 'underground poet.' Perhaps I gave myself a rather strange name?

I think The Shawshank Redemption is one of the rare cases that a film adaptation surpassed the original. I love it intensely, even among all the movies I've ever seen it's one of my favourites.
As for King books, among the seventeen I've read so far, The Dead Zone would be my favourite.
So we can continue using a Book of the Month thread for June in July?
Well, to be honest, the small details of the plot are already escaping my memory, but I don't remember any incoherence of charters' motivations that some people mentioned above. Maybe I was too engrossed in the extreme...
I thought Ellery Queen's works in English were pretty much out of print, or quite rare at best.
In Japan we have lots of translation of his/their works still in print and popular as well.
I bought two of Living Stereo titles:
Brahms, Tchikovsky: Violin Concertos - Fritz Reiner; Jascha Heifetz; Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Beethoven Sonatas - Artur Rubinstein
Both CD/SACD hybrid discs.
I wonder if Super Audio CD is common among western countries.
