[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three books I have loved on audiobook are: [i]A Lesson Before Dying [/i]by Ernest Gaines [i]Angle of Repose [/i]and [i]Crossing to Safety [/i]by Wallace Stegner [/quote] I loved reading Crossing to Safety. The writing is sublime.[/quote] Wallace Stegner is my favorite author of all time. He came to DC and did a reading at Politics & Prose a long time back when he released his Collected Stories. The reading was his short story about a boy and his family who lived outside of town on a farm or ranch and how they were going to town for a 4th of July party or something but, true to Stegner form, the car wouldn't start so they never got to town. I so wish there was a recording of him reading that story. It is a fabulous story but his reading, with his cadence and voice, made the story just mesmerizing that night. [/quote]
