Audio books.
Or is that one word?
Audiobook is so hip today. In fact, it is so hip that I imagine one day, people will go to library, browse through the thousands of audiobook CDs, and plug ‘The Short History of Nearly Everything’ into play. Come to think of it, they may already have done that. I’m probably just a millenium behind to not notice :x
Reasons I love audiobooks~
Carrying heavy hardcover books around is impractical for my nomaden life style. Plus, I can save my eyes from further damage after all the under-the-bed-torch-reading that I did when I was younger. I also can read while doing other chores. And even with eyes closed :O Listening to audiobooks also helps to pay attention to scenery and descriptive ~details~, which I always make a point to ignore. Hmm I can actually count the books that I read word per word with one hand! Last but def. not least, I can save bucks. Books are so expensive ;_;
After finishing Twilight, I’m currently reading The Secret by Rhonda Brynes, mainly out of curiosity about the hype. I mean, this is ‘the’ self-help book that was promoted by Oprah herself (then again, she did promote Obama, so who knows), and has since allegedly outsold Deathly Hallows and changed many people’s lives. It is like Rich Dad, Poor Dad all over again, only better (and to think I didn’t even understand half of that book -_-’ ). Anyway… What’s the secret of The Secret?? After listening up to chapter five, I can tell but two things.. The Secret remains true to its name still. And that I like Rhonda Brynes’ cool, soothing voice :)
Blogging about book is fun. I love books. I’m wondering what I shall read / listen to next. I have Lolita and Of Mice and Men waiting on my playlist but I’ll finish Stardust first. Any other ideas? What are your favorite books of all time?
… ’cause too much reading is never enough
