Ed, Thanks so much for leaving your comments on your listening! I think the reason that I so enjoyed Alexie’s reading was that I had heard him speak at a conference BEFORE listening to The Absolutely True Diary… and so hearing his reading made his personal story all the more affecting.

Mary,

As much as I love Alexie’s work (I especially appreciate his poetry), I was taken out of the story by his reading. Still enjoyable, but I kept wishing for a different reader.

Is there any information about this subject in other languages?

I think The Art of Racing in the Rain is a great adult cross-over title for High School readers. Glad you found my blog, Susan – we are practically neighbors!

Hi!
I book talk in the schools around town and will find this blog very handy! However, although I’m a huge fan of The Art of Racing in the Rain, I am puzzled why this book is considered a teen read.

Hi Lee!

Great minds think alike! You can see that The Graveyard Book is on Audiobooker’s Choice Part Two. I think I’ll hold off taking a look at the final Amazing Audiobook nominations until I post Part Three – then I can really be surprised by which titles are on both lists!

Hey Mary … I’m looking forward to D-Z. Check out the final list of nominations for YALSA’s Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults. It looks like we’ve got some faves in common! I’ve got The Graveyard Book in my ears right now and am so enjoying the author’s reading.

It’s so much fun to read your favorites. Two of these are among the 13 youth audio titles on 2008 Booklist Editors’ Choice list to be published in the January 1 & 15 issue. And two of those 13 Ed choice titles are music CDs. I’d love to hear other audio fans’ bests as well.
