Title: My fifth "reading"...eek
Product review: I am on my fifth "reading" of Independence Day. To clarify:I keep getting the Recorded Books, Inc. version out of thelibrary, read spectacularly, artfully, sympathetically,sensitively by the great reader, Richard Poe. I identify with the reviewer below who said that his writing was influenced by this book. I keep wanting to hear Ford'swords, his rhythms, because they give rise to my own"voice" and they are so natural.I think I love books like this because they have a sort ofintimacy you don't get anywhere else. It's as if Frank Bascombe is confiding in you, and that is so charming.Charming is the word for this book, and I am a sucker forit. Can't get enough of it. It's my "book of choice" for life,along with a handful of others. Thanks, Richard Ford, forthe gift I can only repay by striving to become a writer of integrity - and charm - myself.
