Subject: Does Anyone Listen to Audio Books?

Posted by: Caseena
Date: Feb 13 13

I always have an audio book to listen to at work or in the car. It makes the time pass by more smoothly and quickly. I can also read more books that way!

If so, what are you listening to? I've got "The Teahouse Fire" now, about a French-American woman living in Japan and learning the tea ceremony.

I listen to autobooks all the time! I own several books on casette as well as on CD. I recieve books on autobooks through the Library of Congress in Austin, Texas.

Once in a while, but in my line of work I recommend people to do it as a form of therapy or simply because is an easy way for them to "read".

I get all my audiobooks through the library.

You've got to have a good reader too--I've stopped listening to a few books just because the reader was bad.

Listening to the audio book. Killing Lincoln by Bill O'REILLY & Martin Dugard. Read by Bill O'Reilly. More to the killing of Lincoln than I ever knew, it's a good book.

Yes, I use a site called LibriVox, where people read books of their choice which are in the public domain and you can download them legally and free of charge - my favourite price :) There are thousands to choose from and most are really well read - They are star-rated according to readers votes.

Now I've got Cry, the Beloved Country. Michael York reads it, and his voice is very good.

I listen to audiobooks in German because it really helps me to learn the language. I usually do it when I go somewhere alone or when I work out, as it's more interesting than listening to music.
