Why You Should Switch To Audio Books

Before about two years ago, I would have mouthed off that "audio books" were just for (a) people who were going on long road trips, (b) blind people and (c)- people who cannot read. Then my wife, who was working about an hour away from our home at the time, bought the audio version of "Atlas Shrugged" so that she could have something interesting to listen to on the way to and from work. Having actually read the copy version of Atlas Shrugged before listening to the audio version, she knew what she was getting into with writing it, but since she loved the book anyway, it wasn't a big deal that there were something like 6 CDs and 30+ hours of talk, talk, talk. She ranted and raved about the depth of character development and intonation and emotion that she experienced while listening to the book that she simply was not ever able to achieve by simply reading the book. When I finally expressed an interest in getting the same experience that she was having, she signed us up for an audio book supplier and paid for the best account that they offer. I have since been converted (it did not take much) to the way of the audio book, and I would like to give you five reasons why you should convert to audio as well.
