I browsed around on Netlibrary for awhile and looked at some titles although I don’t know if I’ll be downloading and listening to them anytime soon. Other than having my parents read stories to me as a kid I can’t think of any other time when I’ve enjoyed being read to. Even as a child I had those play along records and I’d be so excited to read the story for myself I would never wait for the appropriate chime telling me to turn the page. Some of my friends are really into audiobooks either for their commutes or on long car trips, but usually when I’m driving I like to relax and listen to music or zone out and just drive. I also seem to have the attention span of a fly so even when I am listening to some of the podcasts for Learning 2.0 my mind will wander for a second and then I’ll come back and be like wait, what?
My one friend really recommends listening to the Harry Potter series since the reader is supposed to be excellent, which I might consider doing since I’m trying to read them all before the new book comes out this summer and I just started book three. I also love books by David Sedaris and his audiobooks where he reads himself are supposed to be great too.
