I'd imagine that listening would be much easier. I really struggle reading dialects.

BUT I am considering listening--it's got a great cast and I think Ewing and Sloosha's sections would be better heard than read.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-7763984306800217252012-08-01T19:29:05.154+01:002012-08-01T19:29:05.154+01:00This: http://www.fizzythoughts.com/2012/07/it-alon...This: http://www.fizzythoughts.com/2012/07/it-along.html (Except I'm not really hosting)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-17770169865706551832012-08-01T18:07:44.581+01:002012-08-01T18:07:44.581+01:00I haven't heard about the #italong.

It's 44+ hours on audio. woot!<br />And I have two real life book club books to read and I have to get back to my challenges.

It looks so good! I love Jim Sturgess and Ben Whishaw so I would watch it just for them. :) I never posted on that readalong because I kind of feel bad because I love that book so much and no one else really did. Oh well. I'll get around to sharing my thoughts eventually. If you do read it again, you can totally skip the Adam Ewing and Sloosha parts.<br /><br />Things are going pretty well. We're still visiting family, though I'm ready to be home sleeping in my own bed. :)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-57605756587310965282012-08-01T15:30:25.650+01:002012-08-01T15:30:25.650+01:00True lucybirdbooks, Austen wouldn't be great f...True lucybirdbooks, Austen wouldn't be great for a reading slump.

I'm a sucker for readalongs as well (about 90% of my reading right now is for RALs or book clubs) but it's even more fun when my favorite bloggers are participating. :) speaking of readalongs--have you seen the preview for Cloud Atlas yet? I've watched it a million times and was almost tempted to start reading the book again until I re-read my review and was reminded of Sloosha. <br /><br />Hope you're doing well--are you across the pond again?Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-60980467200549942712012-08-01T11:57:33.134+01:002012-08-01T11:57:33.134+01:00I thought about joining in with Austen in August b...I thought about joining in with Austen in August but I'm been in a bit of a reading slump lately, I don't think I could cope with Austen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
