Listening Hard

In recent weeks I've taken to occasionally listening to spoken word stuff on YouTube - radio plays, audiobooks and the like. There's an abundance of it and most is of excellent quality. The problem for me is that listening is so wonderfully comfortable that it's easy to nod off. I even struggled to stay awake in a strikingly powerful radio adaptation of le Carre's Call for the Dead which struck me as better than the original novel.

I'll just have to work harder at listening harder. Always a good thing.
