Books I Read and Other Assorted Oddities

 Since I DNF'd Treasure Island , I need another book to read. I rolled a D10 and percentile: I got a 13. That translates to Ender's Game . This is called Ender's Game Alive and is another full cast adaptation. I'm a little nervous about it considering how Treasure Island went... I might have to roll for a second time in two days...

 I... DNF'd this after an hour. I'm not going to bother summarizing this book, because I didn't get very far. I have read Treasure Island  before, back when I was in college and took an entire class on the author. Of his books, this is probably the best one. I picked up this Audible Original because it was free and a classic. I didn't realize that it was a dramatization and not a faithful reading of the book. I felt like this isn't really what I'm looking for in an Audiobook. There were a couple of issues with it besides the fact that it was a dramatization. I didn't love the accents (though probably pretty realistic). They were hard to follow. Sometimes the dialogue got lost in the background stuff, and it just didn't feel like a book. I have nothing against this style of adaptation, but they're not for me. I will definitely be avoiding these in the future if possible. I gave this a ⭐ and did not finish at 21%.

 OK, since I finished The Women , I need to roll for a new book to read. I rolled a percentile dice and a D10 to get my answer. I originally rolled 80 on the percentile and ended up rerolling and getting 50. On this die, the face is the "0," so I read this as 50. On my list that corresponds to Treasure Island  by Robert Louis Stevenson. I read this a long time ago in college, but have it in my audiobook collection. We'll see haha. Hopefully I'll get through this one fast too.
