Hi you all,
I just went and listened to EE's. It's wonderful, not that this is a huge surprise, so I'm apologizing ahead of time for mine being too fast to do this excerpt from Dennis Lehane's novel, Mystic River, justice.
I'm reading the last page from the end of one of the middle chapters. Sean is a cop in the novel, and his wife has left him. She works as a road manager, and she calls him from places and just listens to him talk to her on the phone, that's all. She never speaks. But this time, Sean just can't make himself do things the way they've been doing them, with him talking and her breathing and listening. He's had it. He has his own good reasons.
Can't wait to hear the rest of you all! I'm in the office, so it will be later today before I can really sit and listen. Bye for now.

Wow, that was awesome. Great pick, great read Robin. So sad...poor Sean.
At least one of those one-sided conversations was probably with someone who dialed a wrong number. Or a telemarketer. You phone some number to try to scam someone into buying a burial plot but the guy won't let you get a word in edgewise.
Anyway, nicely read. And certainly not too fast.
No, it wasn't too fast, but you did seem a little more self-conscious. I can't do these if Hot Stuff is listening. You'll have to have Blondie teach you how to do it yourself.
As always, I love your accent and your voice, Robin. Nice excerpt, too.
Great book. Great read. I agree, it wasn't too fast.
I saved this one up, ands what a treat it is. You could lend atmosphere to a trade flyer for waste disposal.
Hey, Dennis Lehane is in Baltimore today/tonight....
fyi
Will come back later!!
Can't wait to give it a listen.
:-)
Hey Girl, this is terrific! And one of the many great books I haven't read yet. It sounds like an amazing book. And I also think your reading voice went well with this excerpt--not fast at all!
Okay, mine's finally up. Apologies for the delay!
I loved this, Robin. I didn't think it was too fast at all.
I love your voice. I did find it a little fast (but at the moment I'm listening a little slow). I'm so intrigued by your voice that I find it hard to focus on what you're reading.
Talk about late to the party... I just now listened to this. Nicely read and a great sounding book. I may have to add it to my list. Nice sofa, too.
I guess I still owe you one of these, huh? (A reading, not a sofa.)
Hi ril.
Yes, please!
