Read in July, 2005

This is the first book I've 'read' as an audiobook, which was an interesting experience. The short stories collected here (with the exception of one or two, for the voices) certainly feel better listened to than read on a page, which says a lot for the flow of Lethem's writing. And unlike most collections, there's more than one tale that lingers in my memory long after, despite me not having read a word. But those stories, like 'The Dystopianist, Thinking of His Rival, Is Interrupted by a Knock on the Door', are the stories I'd love to have in print, too, so I could make notes and underline passages and share them around.
