Audio Books For Your Listening Pleasure
I used to think that reading should involve the actual looking at the book, following with your eyes, flipping the pages and smelling that ink! Those days are rare as we have so much more to do daily.
I pass on this joy of audio reading to my son when we are in the car. It becomes quite popular now with us. The best thing is: I can expose my child to more challenging material than he is comfortable with, and make reading more fun.
You can borrow audio books from your local library. They have a wide variety of different subjects for adults and children.
Now, I find myself reading more online, and only carry books to read when I am waiting! Even then, my head is racing with thoughts of chores to be done, and errands to run! Sad, but true! I am trying to catch up with the rush of life, and always worrying about wasting time!
Three years ago, a client gave me a stack of audio books, or book on tapes, when she found out that my commute was an hour and a half each way. She introduced me to reading by listening while I was in traffic, and made my traveling time more enjoyable.

i love audio reading too, especially on a running vehicle, since reading even if i am just sitting in a bus or in a train somehow makes me dizzy, but the audio is great. i also did a lot of audio studying when i was younger :)
ReplyDeletePlanning to do just that. Make MD in an audio book.
ReplyDeleteaudio books are great when I cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteIcy, I'm not much on audio books but I have a friend who loves them. She uses them all the time so I'm going to send your post to her. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think audio books are great for long commutes or traveling. I haven't tried one yet but I've noticed that the audio books section of our library is very popular.
ReplyDeleteI used to make my children audio books to help them learn to read. This is an excellent way to take advantage of time when we can't read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing & have a blessed day.

I can't look down in a moving car either, so audio books are great on a long trip.
