A friend directed me to Librivox where you can listen to a selection of books. I had trouble staying focussed when I was reading it the first time. I got through the book the first time because I wanted to say that I had read it but I missed a lot. I strongly identified with all the "good" characteristics in each character and saw the rest as a lot of chaos.I have learned a couple of things about myself. I can pay attention much better when I am hearing the book rather than reading it. I look at the chaos in the book now and see myself. I sincerely hope this means progress but it certainly means a shift in my self perception. It feels more truthful. I am curious now to reread this mirrior of humanity again in a few years and see what I learn about myself.Mnoreply@blogger.com
