I'm just about to start up my audible account again (the weather is warming up here which makes walking to work an option - exercise and reading all in one). I tend to listen to different things than I read on paper. If I'm reading crime fiction then I listen to historical fiction - that way I don't get confused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-58847441578476296742008-12-12T07:01:00.000-05:002008-12-12T07:01:00.000-05:00It would be impossible to stick to any one genre. ...It would be impossible to stick to any one genre.

I started with mysteries and YA. Literary fiction and history aren't as easy on audio -- because of the need to stop to savor and think -- but many genres work great on audio.<BR/><BR/>The Guernsey book was even better on audio (I read and then listened). I'm told the HP books are awesome on audio too. I plan to try the first one on audio in 2009.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-70058446705920669182008-12-11T10:59:00.000-05:002008-12-11T10:59:00.000-05:00I would definitely like more time to read.
