I often find that books I can not finish reading, I enjoy as audio books, and vice versa. For example, I would have never been able to finish Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, but as it happened I gave it a chance as an audio book, and I was hooked immediately, and sad when it was over. Same thing with Kent Haruf's Eventide, the much-maligned The Lovely Bones, This Book Will Save Your Life by A. M. Homes, and I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron. On the flip side, I have been trying for months and months to listen to Water for Elephants, but I fear I will never, ever finish it.
