A Balance of Harmonies: His Two Selfish Men

I'm listening to The Circular Staircase, a suspense story written in 1907. It calls itself a mystery, but almost every scene starts with foreshadowing. It's written as if the reader knows the ending to this mystery and the narrator is simply filling in the pieces. She made one allusion to the big thing that happened on June 7th, and I think the story is set in May, but I'm not sure, so I'll just have to wait.

Listening to all old book is a study in language. The author uses a lot of words in ways we don't any more. When a man ejaculates, she only means he's exclaiming, intercourse only means talking, that kind of thing.

My biggest problem with the story, isn't the story at all. It's my phone. For some reason it thinks it's a good idea to play the first 17 tracks, then track 21, 22, 18, 23- 25, 19, 26-29, 32. At first I didn't realize what was happening, then I tried to find the next track when each ended. I'm going to try taking all the books off and then putting this one back on and seeing if that works. Of course if I could figure out how to put a playlist on my phone this wouldn't be a problem.
