A Sad Truth

There are some books I just can't "read" in audio, not even if I'm the one doing the reading. And, apparently, there are some books I can't read electronically. I've come across several since I got my eReader which have had many rave reviews, but I couldn't finish them or, having finished them, had no idea what had happened in them.

I've tried to analyze what they have in common and how they differ from the many books I've loved when I read them by voice or by electron, but I can't isolate either element.

Alas for me! Now I have to save my pennies to buy some physical books so I can share the joy. …Pay … money …. ~MomGoth faints~

WRITING PROMPT: A character fails to share an emotion felt by all around him or her and doesn't understand why.
