AudioBooks

i got a new hobby...i stopped d/l music and started d/l audio books...hectics schedule really leaves no time for me to read like i used to and i'm hooked to audio books...bee listing to stephen king (my fav :evillol: ) ...listening to the dark tower series...part one was over 6 hrs long and just finished part 2 which was about 14hrs...

anyone else listen to audio books??

Nah... I read books... that way I can hear the voices in my head instead.

just as good as reading the book but with the reader it is a more vivid movie (depending on your imagination)...but i mainly listen on the bus and at home while outside and cleaning in the house...but how i do miss reading the words...if time allowed i would read the books

I want to... I don't ever have much time to read anymore, and when I do, it takes forever to actually finish a book. Where do you download your books from (or do you get them on CD or something?).

Would love to throw one on my iPod now and then...

i get mine from limewire...in the advanced search it has it so you can look under audiobooks...just like a book...you don't want to stop listening and look forward to continuing the story...or is that just me :dunno:

mabey sites with just audio books...but i haven't searched

I have a book on tape of the "Dalai Lama: The Meaning of Life", but when I sold my car I lost the only tape player I had :D. I've never been much for reading (I guess that's why I had a 6th grade reading level in 8th grade). But I've only read 2 books in the past 10 years (1 was an autobiography and the other was about Hondas). It's just hard for me to find something that will keep my attention long enough to keep reading; but when I do I can't put it down.

i've been reading stephen king since my junior year of h.s. (95-96)...i'd pick an author and read his books then choose another if i were you...i haven't picked up a book to read since 2003...i usually give away the books after i read them...been so long not sure if i remember them all...but here's the stephen king books i have read:

thanks to my daughter's reading homework, the only reading i'm doing these days are children's chapter books. she's into the Junie B. Jones and the magic treehouse series.

i picked up America (by Jon Stewart) but haven't had the time to do much more than skim thru some chapters back when i got it

I have a bunch of Stephen King books... lots Blu mentioned and some he hadn't... but I'll never get to reading them. I'm a closer reader, thanks to college, so it takes me awhile. Page Turners are the fun types of books. I'm reading "The DaVinci Code" now to see what the hype is all about and it is definitely a page-turner... I took a break from reading for a long time cuz I didn't have somebody telling me what to read and it was weird. I got back into it by reading a couple of Bret Easton Ellis novels... "Glamarama" and "American Psycho"... I've been reading some of Patricia Highsmith's early short stories... pretty morbid (she was the author of "Talented Mr. Ripley" etc.)... I wish I could read and write more...

i used to get in trouble in english for reading my stephen king book...had it in the desk reading pretending to work :D

i'm telling u...try an audio book...i usually have like 3 books on my mp3 player...
