    I tried, unfortunately I get shuffled between relatively solitary jobs and customer service on a moment’s notice. I think last time I tried I was listening to something gory and didn’t have time to pause it before helping a little kid find clothes. Sorry if I looked traumatized, kid.

    I could probably find more opportunities to listen at home while doing chores and stuff, though. I have a tendency to want to take in fiction in big blocks of time instead small chunks split across the day, but it’s not always an option.

    And the book is The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy! I picked it up kinda blind because I’ve had both friends and Lemmy users recommend books by him, but the library didn’t have any of the ones that were suggested to me.

      Most of my listening is while commuting and chores, usually at least 15 minutes of listening for each. I would prefer to listen for at least an hour each session but my schedule doesn’t really allow for that.

      I added that book to my holds list, only 13 hours! Thanks a bunch, I’ve never read anything by him!
