Grail said:What a funny coincidence, I was just recommended this book by a coworker! I tried the first couple of hours on audiobook, but the reader for it was kind of driving me crazy.
Nice ^_^. It's a fun book to discuss with other other people as I recently experienced at a dinner I was at.
Haven't had an audio-book experience. Are there different voices for different characters/ the narrator? Anyone on the board prefer em over reading?
I wrapped up Dance Dance Dance last night. The main character is a middle-aged freelance copywriter with no real drive to be the best in the business, just casual work that'll get him by. He's met with a memory of a place he and his then girlfriend lived. It was called the Dolphin Hotel and the hotel/ someone was now, many years later, calling to him in a dream. Curious to find his old girlfriend, he goes back to check out the hotel. When he gets there, it isn't the same shady hotel and is now replaced with a new luxurious hotel. A chain of events unfold due to his presence. You follow the fellow's life from then on ... he's the kind of guy who goes with the flow or dances his way through. The title is a metaphor to how he lives. Under 400 pages and a quick read. Enjoyed it.
I was reading his books randomly, hopped online to see if there was an order to read them. Dance is a follow up to his other work - In A Wild Sheep Chase. Not having read the latter, I didn't feel a jarring disconnect and I ought to read it. I'll order the book soon.
