I probably shouldn't purchase audio Cd's at the Dollar Store for a dollar. Sometimes they are worth every penny or even less!
"The Discomfort Zone" by Jonathan Franzen has its moments but they are few and far between. Basically, it's a book about someone dealing with fears and depressing things. He tells of his frustrating and frustrated youth and for some reason spends page after page (minute after minute) talking endlessly about the life of Charles Schultz. There was probably a reason for that but somehow that reason escaped me.
He also spends a lot of time talking about his Christian youth fellowship and the various trials and tribulations associated with this.
Yes, I know that he wrote many fine essays and received all sorts of awards for his writing. It's one of those books that I probably would have stopped reading but since it was an audio CD I kept listening to the bitter end.
I learned a few things but, very frankly, I cannot quite remember right now what they were.
If you want to borrow it, it's yours! Free and worth every penny!
