Just as I pulled into the driveway on my way home from my swim yesterday, I got to the end of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House as read by Bernadette Dunne. Very well done. I'm not big on horror so I'm just as glad it wasn't a gore-fest, but a study of personalities with much nebulous.
Sooooo, here's my issue: I've got a few options already loaded onto my waterproof player, but the next one up as heralded by Simon Vance's plummy tones before I cut it off is #6 in the Aubrey/Maturin series, The Fortune of War. I told myself I was going to wait until Labor Day weekend, but I'm mightily tempted. Should I be strong and skip through to my next choice? Or cave, given that summer is short and almost over and I love O'Brian while I swim?
