parking lot moment

ok, so.....i rarely read mainstream thriller authors.....but....BUT....i will confess that i have gifted a series of government intrigue spy books-on-cd to my brother over the years....but i had never actually listened to any of these works until this week.....i borrowed a 10-cd book from the library on saturday on the flimsy excuse of s meeting in frankfort and a training in lexington this week......and i got so caught up in the plot that i brought the box inside when i got home last night...and i succumbed to temptation and brought the box into work after lunch and listened to all but the last bit while i typed in budget data......must not make a habit of this.....but i so wanted to know how the plot would play out.....and so i sat in eku's backlot until the final chapter was read......with some disappointment.....too many plot lines left to the 'listener' imagination.....when i invest 10 cd's of my time in a book, i want to hear every detail of the resolution.....yeah...we are not talking about a bookclub-worthy work of fiction......all the more reason to expect that every thread is neatly tied off...speaking of bookclub.....we discussed kafka on the shore this evening.....which most folks liked enough to be pleasant during the debate about the fine line between dreams/fantasy and reality..............i appreciate that level of tolerance.....it is my dream/fantasy paris apartment that gets me through most work days.....and while one could argue that i do not actually own, nor am i likely to ever own an apartment in paris...the dream of one is sturdy enough to sustain the worst of the real world....
