Trouble is, his voice was so relaxing I had to turn it off as it was dulling my concentration. I like the idea of audiobooks though - because driving in a car is my absolute favourite place to listen to radio dramas.DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803989273524731892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-657396728992392442012-11-06T16:55:10.539+00:002012-11-06T16:55:10.539+00:00Hi I have been following strictly writing for quit...Hi I have been following strictly writing for quite a while now and think the posts are all so thought provoking and interesting, written in deep detail with depths of context. Please could everyone follow my blog please? It's on writing, I usually post poems, short stories, things of personal interest which I think could relate to others and just general literature, I try to make it as interesting as all the other bogs I follow, I hope you will all be impressed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02290571758768220005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-13626549062547073862012-11-06T15:04:09.494+00:002012-11-06T15:04:09.494+00:00I just buy them, Caroline.

Luckily it takes us ages to get through each one, so the bill isn't too astronomical! Public libraries generally have a good stock of unabridged audiobooks, though - as they do with large print, and for (I take it) the same reasons, of serving the blind and partially sighted.Rosy Thorntonhttp://www.rosythornton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-36649713044892975922012-11-06T11:22:57.562+00:002012-11-06T11:22:57.562+00:00I always liked podcasts but found audiobooks too s...I always liked podcasts but found audiobooks too slow. But I'm glad I gave them another go. I always used to think someone needed to invent a device you could read while walking (safely) and I guess this is the closest you can get!Caroline Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708248040141519582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-81542654668052923592012-11-06T10:27:09.044+00:002012-11-06T10:27:09.044+00:00I must admit i've never liked them!

We're just finishing listening to Simon Mawer's 'The Girl Who Fell From the Sky' on the daily commute (partner's turn to choose, but it's a good story and well written). My turn next - ooooh, what shall I choose?Rosy Thorntonhttp://www.rosythornton.comnoreply@blogger.com
