seems quite odd to use Hitchhiker's as an example when it started as a radio program

I know, I mean that visual and audio are different animals.

Ravenina - sorry it took so long to reply, I've been SO busy lately. Go ahead and send me those books if you want. I have a feeling I'll run out of CDs from the library - their audio books are mostly on cassette and I have no idea where my old walkman went.

I just started the DaVinci Code this morning - something I'm sick of people reccomending to me. I tried to read it last summer, but couldn't get into it. Its not a bad thing to listen to while I draft.

I really only 'read' by audiobooks, I have since I was about 15.

I just have to be able to do more than one thing at a time whether it's the dishes, art, or taking a walk in the woods by myself.

I only truly read if it's comics or I find myself trapped somewhere for a long period of time and try to force myself to pass the time by reading.

The 1st audio book I bought was at a garage sale when I was about 11, it was the Restarant at the End of the Universe.

I have since graduated to unabridged audiobooks only tho...don't want to miss anything due to someone's creative editing.

I'm currently re-listening to American Gods...

This has officially become my next audio book after I finish my current (non-With Zoe) one (Dracula).
I haven't had anyone gush to me about it. I do have idle curiosity about it, but it was never enough to get the audio book. Reading "Hanks will play the lead role with Audrey Tautou the female co-star" is what it took. (Not that Franka Potente picked great movies after Run Lola Run [Bourne Identity?!] but I'll give it a shot)

So my new car only has a tape deck, and I only have like three tapes and I hate the radio.... so I'm trying out the audiobooks.

I've currently got Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men and a Boat" in there, and I'm surprised with how much I enjoy listening to it instead of reading it.
