Have you ever been on the Cumbrian railway line where it was filmed? They have actual volunteers who walk through the carriages handing out leaflets and wear, like Fan Jackets. And the gal in it is called Laura - winner!Laurahttp://whatitislikeinwords.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-53836516279779637082012-02-07T15:26:24.211+00:002012-02-07T15:26:24.211+00:00This is like the Anna Karenina reading support gro...This is like the Anna Karenina reading support group! I'm very impressed. I have trouble listening to audiobooks (zero attention span when people are talking to me, which my husband and mother will attest to), but I'm going to give it a whirl on the Kindle. I loved Crime & Punishment, so I'm hoping the length and the Russian-ness won't be too much of a problem.<br /><br />Richard I am listening to Loudon as we speak! It's twangy, but I like it.<br /><br />PxPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140441387378978556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-55531046911162499682012-02-07T11:39:53.173+00:002012-02-07T11:39:53.173+00:00This is the definitive swimming-based song: http:/...This is the definitive swimming-based song: http://youtu.be/fuz5TKzaJoE<br /><br />Sadly it's only two and a half minutes long, so you might get a bit bored of it by the time you've done a few lengths.<br /><br />If you want to build yourself up to tackling Anna Karenina, try the short stories of Nikolai Gogol.

I will do but I'm a bit worried that I won't remember who anyone is. It's pretty easy reading though, for an old, Russian tome!Linseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315977204589309181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-50366902507197810802012-02-07T10:03:06.140+00:002012-02-07T10:03:06.140+00:00I've started Anna Karenina but I've hit a ...I've started Anna Karenina but I've hit a problem.
