    Question Do you listen to audio books?

    I used to buy audio books because I had a long work commute. I haven't listened to any lately. I like the change and am considering placing a few on my wishlist. Gabe enjoys them too. I'm not sure I could listen to them if not in a car though.
    Do you listen to them and if so where?

    I would have to be doing something in order to listen to a book. Cooking dinner, cleaning the house, driving the car, or even taking a bath ( I don't like getting my books wet!)
    You sit down to read a book. I would get bored with nothing to do with my hands....

    I have never ever listened to an audio book. It's something I've thought of trying, but never have gotten around to seeing through.

    I have never listened to an audio book either and have never thought of doing so. I love to have a good book in my hands every night before bedtime.

    Dd on the other hand (because of her struggles with reading) listens to audio books all the time and loves them. I just recently purchased her a book though that she has fallen in love with and the audio books have been laid aside now.

    Our library has a wonderful source of audio books also.

    I love audio books and here everything is so far away it is great to listen to them, I also borrow from the library. I do them at home, in the van anywhere i can turn them on.

    No, to me it defeats the joy of reading a book...though I can see why others would like them

    No, I have never really gotten into this. Maybe it's something I should try...
