Well, I have been tracking them, and I have read, ah, well, no- listened to- 67 books in the past 15 months. It’s been a dream. Myths while I walk, novels while I garden, histories while I clean the house. Even non-fiction! It’s like living inside books. I have learned to remove (eventually cut it off with the gardening shears anyway) my left ear plug so I can remain some what connected to the real world and not totally disregard my husband’s presence in the kitchen. But when I had pnemonia in April and didn’t want to be conected at all to anything real, it was a blessing. The long hours at night with insomnia from the Prednisone were blissfully passed in rest and distration. Of course, there are some hazards, like falling asleep while listening and then trying to find a familiar passage to pick up the story again, or forgetting to recharge and having the story stop in the best part ever! (I have resorted to jogging home from my walk- still good exercise at least). I am learning to track this better, though. Can find a lost passage very quickly now and I’m thinner. Living with technology is a discilpline I intend to keep and grow. Next step in litercy technology is pod casting my favourite stories- for you!

I enjoy sharing audio books with friends and family. What are some of your favorite audiobooks? I really enjoy listening to the lion witch and the wardrobe.
Hi Greg, I just listened to Stop the Train by Geraldine McCaughrean and laughed out loud all the way through it. I also loved The Wish List by Eoin Colfer and was crazy about The Hunger Games series.
