Katie Kitamura - Audition

Tuesday, December 30, 2025

Katie Kitamura - Audition (2025-12-30)

Narrated by: Traci Kato-Kiriyama
Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins
Release date: 04-08-25

★★★☆☆:

The Booker Prize (shortlisted) continues to be more miss than hit for me. This was interesting and left a lot to interpretation and analysis but I also didn't find it especially compelling.


Chuck Palahniuk - Choke

Sunday, December 28, 2025

Chuck Palahniuk - Choke (2025-12-28)

Narrated by: Chuck Palahniuk
Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins
Release date: 12-20-02

★★★½☆

Enjoyable and a bit odd. Sometimes intense


Dennis E. Taylor - Bobiverse 1 - We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

Saturday, December 27, 2025

Dennis E. Taylor - Bobiverse 1 - We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (2025-12-27)

★★★☆☆: I thought it was an interesting premise but I also found it kind of boring in the second half. It is also possible, if not probable, that I just don't enjoy books I actually read as much since I get through them so slowly and with so few pages at a time. I am not in a hurry to read or listen to the next one though


Yiyun Li - Things in Nature Merely Grow

Wednesday, December 24, 2025

Yiyun Li - Things in Nature Merely Grow (2025-12-24)

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren
Length: 4 hrs and 56 mins
Release date: 05-20-25

★★★★☆:

While I am giving this four stars, I don't think I would recommend it to anyone without careful notice. It was intense!. I didn't know what to expect.

Also, despite the timing between this and the last, I listened to this in a single day.


Douglas Adams - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Sunday, December 21, 2025

Douglas Adams - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (2025-12-21)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Book 2
By: Douglas Adams
Narrated by: Martin Freeman
Series: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Book 2
Length: 5 hrs and 47 mins
Release date: 07-04-06

★★★☆☆

Enjoyable enough but nowhere near as good as Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (book 1). Not only did the barely talk about Trillian, but I didn't feel like they did much to develop the other characters either.

Kevin Wilson - Now Is Not the Time to Panic (2025-12-18)

Narrated by: Ginnifer Goodwin, Kevin Wilson
