I need a book to read.
Since February I have been re-reading the Harry Potter series. From "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." All the way to "all was well." Several times through. I would continue this cycle until my phone gets replaced with some new technology that doesn’t support audio books, or I die. Whichever comes first. Oh, did I mention that when I say “read” I mean to listen to audio books whist I drive, or when I should be sleeping, but I am not. So, really I need a new book to hear.

I have found that instead of actual sleep I can indulge in listening to
The Half Blood Prince for the hundredth time. What fascinates me most about not
sleeping, is the massive amount to prohibited things one cannot do when the civilized
world, the ones without scary dreams
waking them up every ten minutes, sleep. Like I cannot clean the kitchen when others “have
work in the morning” like my roommate. So really there is not many options that
won’t bring your downstairs neighbor upstairs to criticize my vacuuming ability and flexibility. So audio books, seem to be the only
option.
The problem is other people. When stating this problem of needing to find
the next great book series to fill my long nights, is that people really want
to answer. To offer help in this book search. “Oh, I just finished a great
series about a woman who is a taxidermist and solves WW II crossword puzzles
she found in a mysterious crate on her gap year trip to Poland. It has a man
that drives an old Volkswagen beetle. I don’t remember the name though. Uh…
Turns out the baby eats lead paint and dies. Sad really.” After an entire re-telling
of this saga of boring VW drivers, the last thing I want to do is find out the
title. Or, speak to the person offering the information ever again.
I guess I will continue my quest for a great book series. To listen to,
while waiting away the night when I should be sleeping.
