New thing

Our library has a new feature. It is a Playaway. It is a small cassette, smaller than a deck of cards and all you do is plug your ear-phones into it and you can listen to the whole book. I did have to replace a battery but they may have a way to take care of that. They don’t have a lot of them yet and most of the adult ones were out but I think they will be getting more. There were quite a few for children. The only one I was mildly interested in was Body of Work by Christine Montross. This is a memoir of a medical students first semester studying anatomy and dealing with the corpse in order to learn. You can feel her angst as she deals with a corpse she has become close to. This book isn’t for everyone but I found it very interesting.
