Listen to a Great Book

I recently signed up for Audible.com and I really love the service. This is a great way to catch up on my “reading” because it seems like I never have the time to actually sit down and read a book.

With audiobooks, I can download them to my computer, and then listen to them there, copy them to a CD for the car, or put them on my iPod to listen to them anywhere. I love listening to music on my iPod, but audiobooks are fun, too. I like to listen to audiobooks in the car on long rides, while sitting in boring waiting rooms, while grocery shopping, and while doing housework.

I also found that having a great audiobook available encourages me to go walking. I love taking quiet walks while listening to a great story. It is wonderful exercise and a great escape from everyday stress.

You can also get magazines and newspapers like the New York Times. I love the idea of having someone read the paper to me every day. I never have time to read the whole paper, even on Sunday.

If you have great ideas for audiobooks, I'd love to hear them.
