Listen up, folks: June is audiobook month
Published:
May 3, 2011 My love affair with audiobooks started about 15 years ago when I faced a
long commute to work. I needed to find a way to make the time pass and
keep my blood pressure low as I worked my way through traffic. Even
though I had thought it would be weird to hear one person read the story
and all the different characters’ parts, I decided to give audiobooks a
try.
I trudged to my local library and loaded
up on mysteries and thrillers. Soon I was listening to books everywhere
I drove, whether I was commuting to work, running errands or taking a
long road trip.
I almost hated it when I
occasionally had a passenger in my car, because I knew I wouldn’t be
able to catch up on my latest book. Sometimes I even found myself
sitting in my driveway for several minutes before I went into the house
just so I could finish a chapter or the end of a book.
Frankly, I consider myself an audiobook addict, and I try to recruit more listeners any time I have the chance. |
