I get started on a FB tear at night and the book doesn't get picked up.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-45439805670275274962015-03-11T17:08:30.141-04:002015-03-11T17:08:30.141-04:00I haven't listened to one in years, but I reme...I haven't listened to one in years, but I remember it being very relaxing when I did.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-66932096872682386882015-03-11T11:45:49.403-04:002015-03-11T11:45:49.403-04:00I've only listened to one audiobook.

I read to the twins daily. And I have a separate book that I read aloud to the ChickieNob on Fridays. Usually Judy Blumes or something the Wolvog wouldn't really want to hear. And I read aloud at the book club I run for kids once a week. I think hearing it aloud is important. If you can hear it :-)Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-23502224753519978702015-03-10T18:41:03.987-04:002015-03-10T18:41:03.987-04:00I have not gotten into audiobooks... but (as an En...I have not gotten into audiobooks... but (as an English major) I found I understood Shakespeare's plays so much better when I SAW (heard) them, vs just trying to read them. Something about the flow of the spoken Old English, and hearing the tone and inflections just added so much more to my enjoyment and comprehension. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-58483492911023601962015-03-10T13:17:29.668-04:002015-03-10T13:17:29.668-04:00I haven't ventured into the medium much, but I...I haven't ventured into the medium much, but I love radio shows and the few audiobooks I have listened to I have enjoyed.<br /><br />One of my fondest memories from childhood is story time.

I listen to books on my commute, while I do the dishes, while I fold laundry, while I walk somewhere. It's such a great way to immerse myself in a story while I'm doing something mundane. It also ensures I actually read books, despite having very little time to read. Audiobooks are the best. Noemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792217151905218101noreply@blogger.com
