Just finished another audiobook - Raymond Chandler's Trouble is My Business. Have you ever read or listened to a book and afterwards still couldn't say if you like it or not? Well that is me with this one. Not sure if I will try any more of Chandler's stuff. It has been a blah period lately so I may give it another shot after I shake these blahs which are overdue to leave

This week we've been really busy. We've accomplished much but haven't found much time for blogging.
We were able to finish up another Radio Show series on CD. This one was Great Detective Radio Shows. I notice they did a lot of liquor and cigarette commercials in those days.
The 6 Classic Radio Programs included on the set we checked out from the library were
1. The Adventures of Sam Spade
2. Boston Blackie
3. Ellery Queen
4. Gangbusters
5. Richard Diamond
6. The Saint
We're currently listening to a new CD (while still reading up a storm). I've said it before but I am really glad my family is reconnecting with books/tapes/cd's this year. We also have two budding writers in the home and I hope to blog about their progress soon.

In our house we read - everything. Heck as a child I would even read the back of the bubble bath, listerine, etc while taking a bath if a book wasn't handy. I'm glad that love of reading has been passed down. I noticed my son reading the CliffNotes for Atlas Shrugged last night after having finished Atlas Shrugged a month earlier (and it was not required reading - we don't do that in this family). Currently, I have a homeschooling book, a mystery book and just finished the book on cd for YOU.
