I really enjoyed it but found the reader's voice a bit too relaxing and I kept dozing off and thus losing my place! I took to setting the timer so that if, and when, I did fall asleep, I wouldn't have to rewind too far. I reckon it's a great plan especially for a bit of entertainment while relaxing.<br /> I saw 'The five people you meet in Heaven' lying around the house and was thinking about uploading that for my impending trip... has anyone read that? is it any good? </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/audio-books#post-169 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:59:30 +0000 jkeyes 169@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>Okay. I am going to listen to an audio book this week. Have to give it a go. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/audio-books#post-140 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:04:13 +0000 GingerNut 140@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>Jkeyes i listen to them quite a lot in the car - sometimes i just get fed up with the radio. I have a few to &quot;read&quot; - The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett, a Garrison Keilor anthology and Barack Obama's autobiography.</p> <p>Bill Bryson's autobiography is a lovely listen. It's not literature or high brow but he has a lovely gentle voice and his stories are very evocative. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/audio-books#post-128 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:14:24 +0000 jkeyes 128@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>I must give audiobooks another chance. A few of my friends swear by them but I've never gotten them. I think I just need to stick one on my MP3 player and go for a walk.</p> <p>I think reviews of them would be good by the way. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/audio-books#post-127 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:47:38 +0000 Eileen 127@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>Hi GingerNut, yes I know a few commuters who use audio books and love them for passing away long journeys with ease! It's a great idea. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/audio-books#post-122 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:39:48 +0000 GingerNut 122@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>just wondering if people think it would be a good idea to include reviews/suggestions/recommendations about audio books. A lot of us spend a lot of our day in the car - on long journeys i really enjoy listening to books on CD (i would never had read the Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy but really enjoyed listening to it) so having other opinions would be great. </p>
