Books on CD obsession continues

[sarahmichigan]

As you may have gathered from recent posts, I'm really digging books on CD. I don't make time to read fiction at home, but I commute about 50-60 minutes a day, and I can "read" a book in a week and a half by listening on my way to and from work.

I recently finished Alice Hoffman's "The Probable Future."

She's the same author who wrote "Practical Magic." I loved that book, and thought the movie did a good job of capturing the spirit, if not following the book completely faithfully.

This book has a lot of the same themes as "Practical Magic": how ignoring the past instead of learning from it can hurt you, the unpredictability of love, the symbolic meaning behind roses and other flowers, women who aren't entirely comfortable with their "special powers," etc.

I'd recommend it.

Ohh cool, I read practical magic too. Loved the movie also. There was another one of hers I read that was pretty good but now I don't remember what the heck it was. Hmmm. Um, I think it was blue. Sure that helps bunches.

I like audio books sometimes but have this habbit of zoning out in the car, and sometimes I keep forgetting to listen to the cd and have to keep rewinding.
