BelleZora and caleb, I haven't read The Turn of the Screw yet but I'm glad you're looking past that one to other books of his. He liked the odd ghost story here and there but I'm not sure if those (even the most famous one, TotS) can match his more realistic fiction.

That's great!

That's pretty much the way I normally listen to audiobooks. But I can read slowly too so I'm used to taking a while to get through a book.
