    I consumed After On as an audiobook, and as such, I cannot recommend it highly enough. That said, I acknowledge that as a written text I might not have finished it. At times, I noticed that it tended toward sections of dense, wordy, confusing, technobabble. Also, dense, wordy, confusing philosophy, and dense, wordy, confusing real…

    Fiction, horror, death, and sometimes romance, written to cause “a pleasing sort of terror,” is what defines Gothic Literature. Given the recent death of my mother, this new orphan is unsurprised that 2019 looks to be a very Gothic one. Jane Austen satirized the love of the Gothic novel in her own novel Northanger Abbey.  The…

    Have you ever heard of a book horoscope before? I hadn’t. But somehow I got signed up for a mailing list from a site called Read it Forward that sends me ideas of things to read. I love books, I love to read, win-win, right? Wrong. Just like any horoscope, I’ve practically convinced myself that…

    It’s been a rough month (or two) while I hung out with my sick mom, getting her settled into her new home. Just this weekend I managed to donate her costume collection and doll collection to worthy organizations who will make sure they get to the right homes. Meanwhile, business marches on and The Corpse…

    I’m almost finished listening to Artemis, by Andy Weir, Narrated by Rosario Dawson. Very good book for doing laundry, dishes, and copying the addresses of convalescent homes into mapquest. How was your day? Anyhow, I’m not enjoying the super long, super technical, super boring ending (Ch 14 is the PITS), so I’m taking a break.…

    If it hasn’t become clear to blog readers yet, “The Studio Audience” is me. In this endeavor of learning how to do audiobooks, I am my own Producer, Actor, Director, Editor, and Marketer. I’m the only person with skin in this game, so especially when I am editing my narration, I work on several levels simultaneously. (I…
