Literary Audiophile

I have always been a lover of books, and I am a good aural learner, but today I have embarked on a journey unlike any before. Having nearly finished, and greatly enjoyed, the McCullough biography of John Adams, I have decided to take on even more ambitious audiobooks. Today, I purchased Don Quixote which will fill 35 CDs, and Ulysses, which will fill 44.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
