| | One of the Let It Snow categories was "Read aloud to someone or Listen to an audiobook." I attempted to read Alice in Wonderland aloud to my parents over my Christmas vacation. Sadly, I did not finish it. As runner-up, I chose an audiobook. This book contains, as the title hints, a collection of stories by Oscar Wilde. My favorite: "The Canterville Ghost." My least favorite: any of the fairy tales. Apparently it was all the rage at the time to rip off the style of Hans Christian Andersen. And apparently Wilde shouldn't have tried, because his fairy tales were exceedingly maudlin. Yup. I just criticized Oscar Wilde. That's right. I did enjoy the other stories. It was just a little upsetting that the audiobook saved the worst/weakest stories for last. |
