This past year I discovered Audible audio books for my iPhone and it made my 40 minute daily commute back and forth from work more tolerable. Couple the books with the podcasts I listen to and I’m actually overloaded with content with no time to absorb it all!
I must mention my favorite book in the list above as being The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. I purchased this on Audible and I listened to the book twice! Great Book!
There were a handful of other books I tried to get through but put the side. One of my resolutions this coming new year is to double what I consumed in 2008!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I stumbled upon a really cool web site while looking for apps for my iPhone called Magnetism Studios. I purchased a couple of things there Tile Sudoku being one of them, the other was a the Benjamin Button short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I read the story in an hour or so and I really enjoyed the experience of reading a book on my phone. Hopefully they come out with more books like this!
As for the movie I’m not sure if I’m going to see it since it’s almost 3 hours long!

A Most Wanted Man
A Most Wanted Man by John LeCarre
This was the first book I’ve read by LeCarre and I’m not that impressed. I was expecting a better ending and ended up disappointed.
5 out of 10 stars.

Restless by William Boyd is a spy / thriller type novel that flips back and forth through time ( 1939 and 1976) It is a good book that kept me interested throughout. I’m a huge fan of WWII of course so this was a perfect fit for me.
7 out of 10 stars
