I've only done audio books once, and it was on a long drive from Phoenix to LA. It was confusing as hell, and seemed to take so much concentration! And that was on a book I've read a hundred times before... They aren't for me. I'm not much of an audio learner unless it's in a movie/tv format. I've always done better by reading myself. Good luck to you though. I might start it up while I knit. My friend suggested I try it since she knits and listens to audio books all the time. I heard a lot of truck drivers use them as well.

That is the question.

They had a pretty big debate on the Stern show awhile back about this. Howard's producer claimed that he could say he read the book even though he just listened to the audio-book, and Howard completely disagreed. The debate went on for an hour and nothing was resolved. I suppose I'd be resigned and simply say "I've listened to it" as opposed to "I've read it". Now, to start the thread "Recently Listened to Books".

That can definitely help. I need the one and only voice in my head to shut the fuck up by any means necessary.
