Do you listen?

I've been a bad reader. Meaning, I haven't really read a lot lately. I love books. I do. It's just outside of lunch breaks at work, I haven't picked up books often recently.

But I HAVE constantly been listening to audiobooks. I love, love, love audiobooks. No, it's not the same as reading, but it can be an incredibly enjoyable experience in itself. I make use of my commute (30 minutes each way) and even a little time walking to and from my car (thanks ipod). As much as I love reading, I love listening as well. There's something nice about someone reading you a story. And some of these narrators are phenomenal.

I would never discount an audiobook. The fundamentals of reading are still there: using your imagination in creating another world and living vicarously through these characters. Go listen.
