Why are we like this?

Why are we like this? My 2 cents: it is like having a cast on your leg for months and you can't scratch that itch, you may have even put it out of mind just to endure it. But when you are able to reach it, ahhh relief!

It's strange thing. A few days ago, I decided to drag the book on tape with me for my commute to work. I have not had a BBM experience in perhaps six or seven months. No film, no book, no soundtrack. I listened very carefully (even though I know the book/CD backward and forward), and, while I was affected in sort of the same way, I found myself more critical of the writing. I wonder if our collective reactions temporarily dull our sense of craftmanship. I want to watch the film now to see what reaction I have to that...if it's similar to the reaction I had to the book after all this time.

Well, if it was the Campbell Scott version, I'm sorry, it just does not do justice to the writing (even if his name is Scott!) If you want to appreciate good writing, you should read it. Either that or listen to the Rodney Giles version, which is read with love!!

Oh I have read it many many times. I can see the words on the page when he is reading it. I am speaking of incongruities in AP's choices, not Mr. Scott's reading of it.

What specifics are you talking about Scott?
