I like certain books on Audio. Have you listened to Skylight Confessions by Alice Hoffman. Wonderful experience.

I loved the audio version of Eat Pary Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's read by the author and you can almost see her sitting across for you with a cup of coffee, telling you the story. I highly recommend it.

I listened to Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I didn't want to get out of my car I was enjoying it so much. It is non-fiction about her year in Italy, India, and Indonesia. She reads the book and does a very good job.

I'm an avid Audio book "reader" ( It's the fastest growing segment nation wide for libraries). I so agree about both the multitasking and feeling like a kid again at story time. I probably listen to one or two books a week. I'm currently reading one or two books the old fashion way, but these are generally books that need more thought. I just finished listening to Stones into Schools which I enjoyed as much as his first book Three Cups of Tea. My favorite all time series to listen to was The Ladies #1 Detective Series. Not only did I learn about the rhythm of life in Africa but sooooo enjoyed listening to the African words being pronounced. It's like hearing a lovely song.

I love audiobooks for learning things. I like this title "Your Brain at Work" a lot and I listen to Buddhist lectures or language courses as well. I guess I absorb it better with listening so I'm happy to see your post.
