books 2006: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens

I can't believe I never read this. Technically, though, I still haven't read it. Patrick Stewart read it to me in the car yesterday. They should have Patrick Stewart read the telephone directory, I'd listen to that. Or VCR instructions. I think a lot of women people would be better able to program their VCRs if Patrick Stewart told them how.

That's a Christmas tradition for my parents - driving to PA for Christmas eve, listening to Patrick Stewart.

Patrick Stewart and Iron & Wine perform "The Phone Book". Instant classic. ;-)

Strangely, I read that book when I was living in London.

They should really look into that!

Interesting! Did it feel different to read a book set in London while actually in London than it would to read such a book in Tennessee?

Hellz yeah.

Everyone should have their own Patrick Stewart.

I bet I'd read/hear a lot more books.

Patrick Stewart should do pledge breaks for NPR and PBS!

One of my favorite radio programs in recent years was an hour-long NPR pledge break done by click & clack, A Car Talk Christmas Carol.

I seem to remember a tour the class took around "Dickens' London" where we went to various places mentioned in the stories. It certainly gave a vividness to picturing what was being described.
