I LOVE PAT CONROY, BUT......

Was An Interview with Pat Conroy, Author of My Reading Life worth the listening time?

Yes, I enjoyed hearing how he was drawn into writing this book. He is one of my favorite authors, top 5 in fact.

Any additional comments?

I realized I didn't care for his performance voice in the interview. My BAD I just had a different memory, I think it is more like Nick's memorable performance in Prince of Tides. I guess the entire thing boils down to, " youuuhoo, southern boy's got your fiddle", yes, it's truly to my ear "THE SOUTHERN WAY" and I just didn't hear it in this interview. I would probably love to read any of Pat's books rather than hear him read them to me.

Mildly Interesting

I am pleased I listened to this short interview, because I was about to purchase the audio book of My Reading Life narrated by the author.

Pat Conroy is a magnificent writer, but oh my ... he has a dreadful voice for interview, let alone as a narrator of an entire book !
I've found this to be true about some authors, Stephen King has not been gifted with a pleasant reading voice either, yet many of his books have appealed to me ( I'd previously refused to read any of King's books, so my husband pursued me to listen to him read me the entire Dark Tower volumes over a few months. )
I do go on..lol

What joy to hear Pat Conroy's voice

This is a short interview Pat Conroy gave after recording My Reading Life, which
I read a few years back and loved. The world lost a great voice when he passed away, but this brought back memories of hearing him at author events.

Author of My reading life

The story of his mother reading to him in different character voices brings back find memories of my mom reading to me. I enjoyed this conversation.

good interview

Pat Conroy is a phenomenal author. If you haven't read any of his books, do so now. His facility with the English language is dazzling. He writes how I wish I spoke. He uses adjectives and other modifiers to paint pictures unlike any you will see with almost any other author. I have a hard time picking favorite books or authors... but if I made a short list Pat Conroy would be on it right near the top.

Great interview

I really enjoyed listening to this - although it's short, it was a nice length for my commute, something different to check out for the morning. Check it out!
