I'm no W fan, but this cracked me up

50. Listened to the audio last year but it actually took months.

It's a wonderful book but it took me about a month to finish it. The reason was because last year because of the worsening situation of the country, I watched MSNBC and CNN constantly and I had no commute so I found myself waiting for bedtime to access the audio book. Then, I would love listening to Michelle Obama narrate the book, but her narration voice (as opposed to her speech giving voice which is inspiring) was so soothing like having a good friend sit beside you and with the combination of being horizontal with my head on the pillow and her lovely voice, I would fall asleep. Then the next day I would have to back it up to where I had fallen asleep because I never hit the stop button before falling asleep. It was such a fractured way of listening to it, I had to actually put some time aside during the day to finish it. So, yes, I highly recommend you read or listen to Becoming, but definitely not in bed.
