bookshelves: poetry
mostly fun. a nicely bound collection of humorous poems and limericks. i actually read many of these aloud even though i was the only person in the room. some poems just have to be spoken out loud. it was easy to imagine the various folks i know who would enjoy certain of these poems while others would enjoy still others. the most fun reading from this collection was when i imagined children enjoying certain of the poems. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57593489 to: Listening: The Forgotten Skill: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) by Madelyn Burley-Allen

bookshelves: humor
yes. i love wodehouse. and this book, like his others, are a relaxing and delightful read. a world that never existed yet a world that the imagination would love to inhabit: kinder, gentler, humorous, and where all is well. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56609199 to: Concerning Cats: My Own and Some Others (Hardcover) by Helen M. Winslow
i finally gave up. using a librivox audio file, the woman reading was slaughtering the language and i couldn't take it anymore. bummer. language delivery matters, imo. it isn't often that i start a book and cannot finish it. but it happens once in a while. always a disappointment. ]]>
