ee　above　all　the　relentless　humdrum　of　daily　obligations。

Audio　books；　unlike　printed　ones；　can　be　attended　to　almost　anywhere；　anytime。　Bumpy　rides　and　clamoring　restaurants　used　to　be　my　worst　nightmare；　but　as　soon　as　I　grabbed　a　headphone　set；　the　world　became　my　very　own　desk。　Consequently　every　place　I　h*e　been　and　every　step　I　h*e　taken　has　acquired　its　unique　significance　through　a　piece　of　literature。　I　went　to　school　with　；　watching　Holden　Caulfield　play　the　catcher　in　the　rye；　I　came　back　home　to　Fitzgerald；　joining　Gatsby　in　his　party　at　night；　I　sat　in　Pizza　Hut　with　the　Corleone　gang；　listening　to　Vito　reason　with　his　sons；　I　stood　on　the　subway　with　Forrest　Gump；　babbling　away　about　the　wonders　of　late。　This　is　where　Jane　first　met　Rochester；　this　is　where　Elizabeth　rejected　Darcy’s　offer；　this　is　where　Heathcliff　started　his　revenge　anew；　this　is　where　D*id　Copperfield　hit　Uriah。　The　mundane　locations　of　my　daily　routines　had　been　transformed　into　windows　through　which　I　could　glance　upon　a　thousand　worlds。書包　網　。　想看書來
