Yes! I am exactly the same way, Susan! Too relaxed when listening leads to sleep, but then too busy when listening means rewinding and trying to find the time point when I stopped listening. And yes, with some books, it’s enough to get a general sense of what has happened and not think too deeply. Thank you for your comment. I do think that it was my problem in listening though, because all I see everywhere is how much everyone loves this book. What I do think though, is that sometimes it’s just the timing of the reading experience. Sometimes, it’s not the right time – maybe my mind is too busy to listen properly right now – and maybe it will be completely engrossing when I pick it up again, in either the audiobook or text version. I think that it will be exactly that experience for me next time when I try again, especially after reading the discussion threads. I am getting a much better appreciation for the book, which is really very wonderful. Thank you, Susan, and thank you all. The comments are truly enlightening, as they always are with this group.
