I'm currently listening to "Gilead" as my treadmill book. I'm enjoying it quite well. It has some beautiful expressions, descriptions, and turns of phrase, and I really do feel like I'm inside the narrator's life and head. Lovely portrait of a particular place and time.
I do find my mind wandering a little more than with most novels I listen to, and I'm not sure why. It may be that I really don't have much interest in non-Mormon forms of Christianity, so it may be that when his narrative gets into religious philosophy, that may be when I start tuning out...
Love Neal Chandler. I used to live in his ward in Ohio, he's a great person too.
