Re: Audio Books
I am so glad I put the Harry Potter audiobooks onto my mom's itouch. My parents snore extremely loud and unfortunately, even my loud rock music doesn't block out the noise and i'm hoping a nice book will keep my mind off it

Re: Audio Books
On a less fictitious note, I just got a copy of "The Audacity of Hope", by Barack Obama, from the library.
He has a beautiful speaking voice- it's like the President is talking to me! This is a real recommendation, even if you don't support him. He has a nice way of bringing across what he learned on his various campaign trails, bringing a rhetorical voice of America to the fore. It's really pleasant to listen to. |

Re: Audio Books
How cool that it is actually read by him! Thanks for the recommendation; I'll have to check it out.

Re: Audio Books
You know, another audio book that I liked that was read by the author--Eat, Pray, Love. Sometimes the author's reading is kind of a disaster, but she did a really great job with it. I think she read it better than anyone else could have because it was such a personal story. Her reading really captured the thoughts and emotion behind it.

Re: Audio Books
I listen to the Potter audio books instead of reading the novels because I don't like getting the pages dirty. I like to be able to lay in my bed with the light off and just listen.
Edit: Of course I read books 5-7 when they first came out because I read faster than Jim Dale narrates and I wanted to finish it quickly. |

Re: Audio Books
Nope, it's the first one, The Audacity of Hope. It's the story of when he first ran for State and Congress, the things he learned along the way, the people he spoke with and his very small beginnings in Illinois. It's a wonderful read/listen. I'm listening to some bits again!

Re: Audio Books
I was given one in college by a friend of my father's. Since I traveled a lot to be with my dad while he was dying, his friend thought it may help. I have been hooked ever since. But it really does depend on the narrator. Some of my favorite books have been horrible to listen to because the voice didn't do it justice. And I still remember listening to The Crucible. It was so well done I missed my exit while driving. I got so lost that I added an extra hour and a half onto my trip!

Re: Audio Books
I haven't listened to any audio books since I was little. I used to hate reading them so my mom would get them for me from the library. I hated them, too. Then, I got back into reading and haven't listened to any audio books since. I might give them a try again, but really, I prefer reading a book than listening to one.

Re: Audio Books
i love using them when i'm too lazy to read though, and they're really nice for just digesting books rather than speeding through, which i just do without even noticing

Re: Audio Books
I tend to skip over to the dialogue at times, so they might come in handy. Also, might be good for car rides. I can't read when I have to listen to the radio or my sister screaming.

Re: Audio Books
they'realso great for when you're hands aren't handy. I tend to listen to audiobooks like anywhere, which would include before falling asleep, at school when i'm not paying attention to my teachers and hiding the earphones under my hair, walking in the mall, biking, etc.
