I’m listening to The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Charon, read by David Colacci. All what looks like to be 26 interminable hours of it.
I’m torn. So far, at two-plus hours in, I’m finding this incredibly tedious. I loved Chabon’s The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, so I had high hopes and haven’t quite given up, now that the overlong and dull prologue is done. I also have a penchant for books set in New York during this period. And it’s serving its purpose; I listen to it in bed and it’s definitely not interesting enough to keep me awake.
Still, 26 hours (!) of what so far seems like a lot of self-indulgent twaddle. How much longer to give it?
