GERMAIN: And what do you do at night?— EINSTEIN: Ah, at night... at night the stars come out.—the stars in the sky?—The stars in my head.

More fun reading for play selection. One of these is my favorite, all are fun, two have a surprise common factor. Anyone see any of these? (Boeing, Boeing and Four Weddings and an Elvis are the other two). Anyone else involved in #theatre? It's truly a reader's best friend❣️I'm lucky to live in such an artistic community.

Yeah, well, we're all writers, aren't we? He's a writer that hasn't been published, and I'm a writer who hasn't written anything.

Steve Martin's play imagines the fictitious meeting of Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein at a Parisian bar in 1904. Picasso will soon paint "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and Einstein is about to publish his theory of relativity. Even Elvis makes an appearance. It is hilarious and beautiful. One of my favorite things ever.

Realizing that Steve Martin shares our book nerd problems 😀

Tcip The answer is fuck yes. 8y

badnorthern I keep track of all the books I read each year and I always feel a little guilty about writing down audio books... 8y

Tcip Screw that. Audiobooks are books. I am resolving this issue once and for all. 8y

kristinshafel Agreed, @Tcip: audiobooks are books! period! 😊 8y

Susannah @badnorthern, I felt the same way, but I decided to embrace audiobooks as an equivalent of reading books when I realized that by listening to classics rather than reading them, I was absorbing them much better. I do say "I'm listening to the audiobook of" rather than "I'm reading," which may be a hold over of that ambivalence I had before, but I truly believe they have equal value if you are engaging with the material. 8y

Arcana Reading is an active pursuit, where listening is passive, HOWEVER, either way we are absorbing the book, and that's what counts in the end😉 8y

quirkyreader Having a visual impairment and having friends with them as well, we consider audio books to be books. Besides it is much easier to carry around an audio book than one it braille( no offense Braille lovers). If no one has seen a book in Braille, those things are beasts and rival War And Peace by a long shot. And one book can stretch volumes. Here is my history junkie coming out. Talking books and audio books are a side effect of World War One. 8y

quirkyreader Many wounded vets wanted to keep reading and learn things. So a group of people got together and created the technology for talking books. And for a while the talking book players were more advanced then regular record players. So audio books are books. 8y

Theresa @quirkyreader That's fascinating information! Thanks for sharing! 8y

Gayan I totally agree with @Tcip . How else could I read while I drive? 8y

Superman_Books Yup agree, they are books 😊 8y

LilMamaMastro @quirkyreader 👍 8y

LauraBeth I agree with @Theresa and @LilMamaMastro - that's interesting to know about how audiobooks developed @quirkyreader! I grew up with a cousin who is blind and we would go to the library together as kids and he would get audiobooks so I have always thought that they were books! 8y

LauraBeth @josie281 😀 8y

LauraBeth 100 💯 8y

LauraBeth 100 percent agree with y'all @Tcip @Gayan, @Arcana, @kristinshafel, @Supermanbeer 😀 8y

LauraBeth @badnorthern have no shame in audiobooks! I agree with @Susannah 😀 8y
