\"\"As regulars here probably know, but newcomers may not, on the first of every month I post on the Supernatural Underground<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

Recently, however, I sustained an injury to my eye, one which has made any sort of reading and screen work very difficult. Even now, it’s only slowly coming right enough to write this post, and as you can imagine, with a life bereft of books, television, and the internet (“I know”\u00a0\u2014\u00a0grave extremes indeed!) it did not take long for my mind to return to audio books.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

As I was not feeling particularly well, my first choice was to opt for an old favorite,\u00a0Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone*…”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
