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.

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.

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.
I think reviews of them would be good by the way.

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 "read" - The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett, a Garrison Keilor anthology and Barack Obama's autobiography.
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.

Okay. I am going to listen to an audio book this week. Have to give it a go.

I have 'False Memory' by Dean Koontz on my ipod and 're-read' it while backpacking around Asia last year. 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.
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?Posted 2 years ago #
