I often find myself reading something on the bus or subway, but then not understand anything I read. This seems to be because of the constant noises. Not even instrumental music helps, as that distracts me as well and also does not always match the theme of the book.
The best working one in noisy places seems to be white noise, with complete silence being the best overall. How do yall handle such situations?
Been reading Dan Simmons Drood. There are two characters who I can hear. They sound like the boss guard in Alien 3, also the sergeant from Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment. No idea which English accent that is, can’t even imitate it IRL, but I can hear it.
Any suggestions on best Pratchett novel to start with?
Just start with the first. It’s not the best, but it’s not bad. I went in order and that worked great.
