I’m one of those people who will say “I love that song” and feel no need to own it or the urge to hear it again right away. I was embarrassed to admit it when I was younger. I was done after the first 40 minutes of a concert. I think all musicals are 35 minutes too long. The only exception is dancing. I can make a fool out of myself for hours & hours. This brings me to accept that hearing (NOT the same as listening) is not the most developed of my five senses, or however many they are these days. I bought a subscription to Audible.com from amazon when I bought the flip camera for the husband back in December. I have bought 2 books. I spaced out through a lot of the first one, and slept through most of the second one. The first one was about nutrition, the second one a memoir, and out of nostalgia I’m going to try this third one. If you were a teenager on the mid seventies you’ll smile (or smirk).
I’m reading Just Kids by Patti Smith and it’s oddly riveting, and very nostalgic…
Oh that’s on my list! But no audio for that one. Do you have a kindle?
I can only listen to books with really good contents, where the narrator has a nice voice and speaks in a good rhythm. I’m such an audio book snob 😛 That being said, I’ve enjoyed a few good books on CD, such as “Running with Scissors” and “Eat, Pray, Love”.
The trifecta huh? Many of the titles that I want to read are not available on Audible.com so I keep telling myself that I got my man’s flip camera for $9.99 for subscribing and I can drink coffee and listen like a big girl for the remainder of the year.
Just Kids was awesome. I also recommend the new Keith Richards biography.
I’m on it! Thank god Keith Richards is still alive to tell the tale.
Not on Audible…
