I’ve been listening to an audiobook of Jim Harrison’s Returning to Earth. I’ve never had this happen to me before, but I’m having serious issues with the reading of the book. Specifically, the person who does the majority of the reading reads very quickly. If it were my own English and my own accent, I might be able to deal with it, but it’s not, and I’m finding I almost have to pay more attention than I have to follow along. It does get better as I get further into the book, but I’m still struggling. At first, I thought they’d just sped everything up in an effort to get more material onto fewer CDs, but I don’t think that’s it. All the other readers work at a much more reasonable pace!
