Sometimes when I have stuff to do at home or I need to go to the supermarket and do my grocery shopping, I hook up on a great audiobook and disappear into another world. I've also recently speculated on some of the "old time radio shows" from ebay and have been listening to them. Be warned against listening to anything humorous in public - several times whilst walkind down an isle in my local supermarket listening to an audiobook, I have burst out laughing and have suddenly realised that everybody is staring at me....ooops!Graham Ettridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483586705365890235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101587623226083846.post-68946993974073765362007-09-19T19:51:00.000-07:002007-09-19T19:51:00.000-07:00I've been checking audio books out of the library ...I've been checking audio books out of the library for my husband for years now - he listens to them on his work commute.<BR/><BR/>His award for "Best Spoken Word" would go to Jim Dale reading the Harry Potter books.

Audible.com is an inexpensive way to get them, although of course not as economical as the library :) Unabridged is always my choice; if I'm going to experience the book I want the whole thing. I find it a good way to "read" things that are a bit too dry to hold my attention otherwise. Thanks to audio I've "read" The Gulag Archipelago, several Jane Austen books, Jane Eyre, A Brief History of Time, and some science fiction classics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101587623226083846.post-24105175249042598912007-07-06T18:19:00.000-07:002007-07-06T18:19:00.000-07:00I've listened to a few books on tape.

Jones Has a Monster Under Her Bed. My youngest son likes the Junie B. Jones books, so we decided to put it in the CD player. It was cute. I might even consider buying myself a book on CD at some point.colorfulpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504523646852856885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101587623226083846.post-85503335494755741592007-07-02T06:47:00.000-07:002007-07-02T06:47:00.000-07:00I like books on CD.

Books on CD are great for the commute. <BR/><BR/>Also, my husband has a very logical, scientific mind, and finds it really difficult to read anything fictional, or, for that matter, at all, unless it's a engineering manual. So he's started listening to books on CD as a way to "read" the books that he doesn't have the patience to actually read. They're a good thing.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I infinitely prefer the uncut versions. I get too annoyed when they cut my favourite bits.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394936927965812106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101587623226083846.post-36998042091045344512007-07-02T06:26:00.000-07:002007-07-02T06:26:00.000-07:00I don't always like books on tape but there are so...I don't always like books on tape but there are some genres of fiction that I just don't get into normally and listening to them on tape while I'm working at my computer, or on my house, really works. I've now "read" crime novels by Walter Moseley, autobiographical tomes like 'Tis, and science fiction like I Robot (this was a really awesome audio read by the way). I highly recommend it...though it wouldn't keep me going during a gym workout. For that you need some kind of face paced beat to move to.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, nice blog you have here. The fresh and honest blog on what I'm doing in my life and what interests me always works. It's what I do too.

I really enjoy reading and creating my own version of the authors world. I'm afraid that I won't get the same effect listening to someone read it over reading it myself.<BR/>Let us know how it goes!!!<BR/>BeckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
