Today was my monthly download of 2 credits, so I've purchased Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead at last. I'm really enjoying this SciFi/Fantasy kick I've...
I'm on the third book of the series Xenocide. I find Ender's Game to be one of the most popular SF books around, even read by non-SF fans. It's too bad...
Did anyone click on the sale Audible is having of Roald Dahl titles? I loved his books as a child, but have never listened to any. Might have to indulge. The...
Have y'all noticed that baby boomers have stopped listening to music, or appear to have stopped listening. No one talks about music anymore. At my work we...
... I'm a classical music fan (as well as a Deadhead, a fan of punk rock, and jazz) and I see _more_ people talking about music than ever, at least on the...
But do the people you meet day-to-day talk about music. As I point out in my blog I have lots of music nut friends who discuss music. And you can find all...
... I live in a town of about 2000 people. Not only do I not see a lot of people day-to-day, but very few are interested in classical music at all. ... I'm not...
You're an odd case Kirk. But when you discover a fantastic classical CD, don't you have the urge to tell about it among the people you do meet? Did you do...
... Could this just be a phase? Topics come and go andcome back again and it's natural that for a while a certain topic isn't mentioned. ... I think the way...
... No doubt about it... ... Sure, and I just heard a great recording of the Goldberg Variations today. But I also write CD reviews, so that way I tell lots of...
I used to listen to music all the time, but since I've discovered audiobooks, I find I listen to them exclusively, and to music only rarely. I'll sometimes...
... I was wondering about that. I find listening to audiobooks much more engaging, and ... soothing, I suppose... than I do music, which I'm finding more...
I would never waste my iPod time on music - audio books are much more valuable for that time. However, I do listen to music regularly, but with me it's more...
Very interesting Barry. I do separate my real life and my net life, but like you said, the people I know on the Internet are just as real as the people I meet...
The straw just broke the camel's back. The "Your Recommendations" area at Audible needs to be rethought. Of the items in the first group, two of the three...
... I listen to music a lot less since I started listening to audiobooks. But I do still listen regularly. I don't like background music. I take time to...
I dunno exactly what age range you mean by "baby boomers" but I have definitely lost interest in music, either to listen to, or talk about. (I'm 42.) My two...
... Yes, me too. Audiobooks saved my sanity on the long commute since I discovered them 15 or more years ago now. Music wasn't helping me lose the stresses of...
I go More Options on the left menu and then click on Unabridged. I do this once a day, usually in the evening. I can track the new unabridged as they come...
HA! You're not hanging out in the right places Jim. My husband is a HUGE music fan (classical and jazz) He is also a major audiophile. On the net he hangs out...
My favorite collection of Roald Dahl is Kiss Kiss. I hope they have it. It is not for children but adults. terry http://www.terrypogue.com/Terry "My idea of...
Like I said Terry, there are still plenty of music nuts and audiophiles out there. I was just talking about the average person and their talk at the water...
... Well, there was far less TV back then. What about sports? That's always been big at the water cooler. Has that changed? Kirk Read my blog: Kirkville --...
Not at all. Sports talk is almost as popular as talking about the weather or local murders or plan old gossip. Jim ... What about sports? That's always been...
My experience with the young is that they don't discuss much of anything. That's why restaurants have such loud music, have tin ceilings to create din over...
My grandsons think of the iPod as music players. I moved my entire music collection to the computer and iPod and got rid of all the CDs. I also have news...
I also like "concert" listening. I turn on neither the TV nor the music player just because I enter the room. Listening is deliberate. Both TV and music are...
... I wonder if this might have something to do with it. My music tastes gelled a few decades ago. I still sometimes find something I like that I haven't...
Geez, Barry, your profile is exactly what I'm talking about on my blog. Why did your love of music settle down decades ago? I think you are typical. Why is...
