Things I have listened to or read recently: The Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabron, John Sanford's Dark of the Moon (mystery), the latest in the Monkeewrench myster series (author is P.J. Tracy), and a very good novel in Spanish by Ignacio Padilla -- I don't think his stuff has been translated yet.<br>Robhttp://roberta.typepad.com/robknitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-26368727852472107582008-01-09T10:42:05.000-05:002008-01-09T10:42:05.000-05:00I love the audiobooks, but sometimes I like a vide...I love the audiobooks, but sometimes I like a videoblog or podcast.<br>Lately the TED lectures<br>http://www.ted.com/themes/view/id/46<br>and<br>Weavecast - i suspect we all know these, but I am just catching up!<br>http://www.weavecast.com/default.html<br>and<br>Threadbangers - for pure abandon of the rules<br>http://www.threadbanger.com/<br>Lynnehttp://thetwistedwarp.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-7186545060291905032008-01-07T07:56:31.000-05:002008-01-07T07:56:31.000-05:00Well, I'm reading lots of schlock vampire fant...Well, I'm reading lots of schlock vampire fantasy stuff. The next six weeks are cruch time at work so I need stuff that takes very little mind power to get involved in but, at the same time, is easily set aside. On the audiobook front, I second the nomination for Water for Elephants, also a must is The Blood of Flowers (lots of fiber and rug weaving in the story as well - the narator's accent just adds to the depth of the story). Neil Gaiman's Nevermind and Terry Prachett's Making Money are on the iPod also.<br>Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-19252625783393153192008-01-06T06:35:49.000-05:002008-01-06T06:35:49.000-05:00Nice cactus!I just finished reading James Gleick&#...Nice cactus!<br>I just finished reading James Gleick's Chaos Making a New Science.
