This was in today's NY Times: http://tinyurl.com/ys4ry9 Nothing new or earth shattering for us, but the article discusses listening to books for book clubs vs....
... There is one thing in this article that I haven't seen before: “If the goal is to appreciate the aesthetic of the writing and understand the story,”...
Thanks for sharing this article. You just gave me my blog topic for the week! As a semi-retired English teacher, I have felt small pangs of guilt about...
When I started reading with my ears it opened up whole new vistas of books for me. I realized that I was a bad reader - and a bad reader in many ways. First,...
What he said! That was great, Jim, and exactly describes what I feel I'm getting out of audiobooks that I was not getting when I read print books. I have...
My Dear Little AudioBook Listeners, I want to thank each and everyone of you who tried to help me with my computer problems. Especially Sharol and Barry. But...
You're welcome Marsha and I'm glad it turned out so well for you. Helping "little old ladies" with computer problems might have the advantage of teaching them...
I know what you mean about reading a variety of books. I've listened to books that I'd have never had the patience to read. I read HP7 as fast as I could...
It seems like 2007 and 2006 have been dry years for great books. I'm sure they are out there, I've just haven't discovered them. Have y'all seen anything as...

I haven't listened to many of the latest releases because I'm still listening to many of the older ones. :) But here are a couple of books released in the...

You guys are too fussy. You can't expect a book like "Middlesex" to come along every year. Even the other books named weren't of that calibre. If you wait...
I spend most of my time listening to the classics - so I like it when I can discover a classic in the making like Middlesex - which I thought was probably a...
I added both to my wish list. I had considered Shantaram before but was scared off by the length - 43 hours. Memoirs of Cleopatra is 49 hours. Jeff, you sure...
... I've heard it, I think from RB but I'm not sure now. The reader was Dylan Baker, who did a really good job with it. ... Because that's how you find great...
I've read and enjoyed most of the ones listed with the exceptions of The Memoirs of Cleopatra The Love Bones (is that The Lovely Bones?) and King Dork. I've...
This weekend while ripping a seemingly endless pile of audio CDs for my iPod I finally decided that I was sick of the process. I just called Recorded Books...
You may be interested in the finalists and winners of the PEN/ Faulkner Awards for fiction (www.penfaulkner.org) I cannot personally vouch for the 2006 and...
Yes, I've read all and loved all of the books you mentioned, Barry. And I am so far behind in the classics that I sometimes feel like a literary illiterate...
I started to listen to "Ulysses" a few years ago and frankly, I was bored. I don't remember who read it now but it was well read. I also don't recall how ...
Today's special is Code to Zero by Ken Follett. Read by: George Guidall Here's the summary from the website: A man wakes to find himself lying on the ground in...
Okay, Luke Lucas? not that I don't adore Ludlum's version of male-romance fiction (read, full of testosterone), but that name is over-the-top silly. How would...
The book is by Follett, not Ludlum. Very different writers. I like Follet's books a lot. I find Ludlum's books to be boring overly-long chase scenes. Barry ...
right, yes, of course. I never did get around to reading Follett's Pillars of the Earth--did anyone on the list read it? What did you think? I enjoy Ludlum's...
