I've been listening to Lord Jim on tape--quite a challenge. I agree that the book does start out strange and frustrating but grows more tractable and even memorable as it develops. Sometimes doing other things while listening to it distracts from significant details and profound insights. I am sorry for this but, nevertheless, glad for what I am gleaning from the book: thought-provoking glimpses into the contradictory realities of human nature.
