That's so crazy to think about. I don't know that I could listen to a super long book like that, I'd much prefer to get lost in the physical words. <br /><br />I think about this a lot - like I want to listen to more audiobooks, but that would be when I would normally be listening to music, so then when would I listen to music?!

You know, I had a library patron phone me the other day to get the Ken Follett Pillars of the Earth BoT, and we got the unabridged version in -- something like 36 discs! That's a LONG time. I'm so picky about the audiobooks I read -- they have to be a certain genre, the narrator has to be good, and they have to be the kind of book that I can go a few days without listening to, but still remember what's going on, since I listen mostly in the car. <br /><br />The only times I really enjoy listening to audiobooks is in the car, or while I'm cleaning the house. But I'm like you, too -- I adore listening to music! I go in spurts. :) Glad you gave it another try!Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12401451485460760416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591658634412055487.post-84332128483621017152012-11-29T18:20:44.738-07:002012-11-29T18:20:44.738-07:00It sure did! Dude, I think I ended up listening to...It sure did! Dude, I think I ended up listening to the book twice over with all the "rewinding" I had to do. It was such a hard book to concentrate on. This one was kinda cheesy, but a plot driven book (one with an easy plot at that) is so much easier to follow. And I don't think I could ever listen to a book at home. I much prefer music! My mind wanders way too much too - even in printed books lol!

Holy cow! I always think about starting one, because I see people who love them, but then I try to think of when I would actually sit down and listen to it and I just don't see that happening, like... ever. The kids are always in the van and at the house and they're loud little buggers. Also, I would sit there to listen and probably think about the million things that I have to do and not know what the hell is going on in the freaking book anyway! Gah! This one sounds pretty cheesy too. Like the Siverstone gif.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.com
