I was too weak to resist. You know, Miami and all.
Audiobooks
Today’s audiobook…
…should have been Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff. But that book, incredibly, is not available on either Audible or Downpour.
So, instead, I’m listening to yet another Travis McGee hard-boiled detective novel.
I’ll be in Lauderdale in two days. You think the Busted Flush will still be in Slip F-18?
New John Grisham
Tomorrow.
Listening to it should carry me into Georgia, at least.
The Current Audio Entertainment
I started Shardik after finishing The Caine Mutiny. These are books I can’t believe I haven’t reread since the ’70s.
Today’s Audiobook
I can’t believe it’s been almost 50 years since I read this. Great book.
Rain and Wind
Well, at least the wind should be more or less at my back.
In recognition of where I am, I’ll listen to the rest of Mark Kurlansky’s excellent book “Cod” as I ride.
Listening
As I ride along, I’m using the Audible and Downpour apps on my iPhone to listen to a selection of audiobooks. I’ve either read or listened to most of them before, but “Razor Girl” is Carl Hiaasen’s newest and “Debt to Pay” is Reed Farrell Coleman’s just released Spenser novel. I’ve attached an almost weightless Bluetooth speaker to a bike helmet strap and I can hear the reader just fine over all but the loudest traffic or wind noise.
Here’s the list so far.
Mortal Stakes, Robert B. Parker
The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett
Razor Girl, Carl Hiaasen
The Scarlet Ruse, John D. MacDonald
The Shepherd’s Crown, Terry Pratchett
The Black Marble, Joseph Wambaugh
The Choirboys, Joseph Wambaugh
Red Square, Martin Cruz Smith
Polar Star, Martin Cruz Smith
Debt to Pay, Reed Farrell Coleman
Early Autumn, Robert B. Parker
Free Fall in Crimson, John D. MacDonald
Another beautiful day today. I should wind up near Bucksport, Maine for the night.
