Sometimes I think about picking one up and see what happens, I might just try doing it after reading this.

I think certain books are easier to read through an audio book--usually shorter books (Chronicles of Narnia or Percy Jackson books) or books with great narrators (Harry Potter, for example). Sometimes though, I find myself zoning out of longer books like the classics (I tried a Dickens novel over audio book once--very difficult to keep focused on). And I find audio books that are 10+ CDs long to be rather daunting. I do enjoy audio books for road trips over several hours. Helps pass the time in a fun way. <br /><br />Cool post!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058904040523671233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515737437706739166.post-55396481477033179502015-07-29T00:31:11.586+10:002015-07-29T00:31:11.586+10:00It's all about the narrator in combination wit...It's all about the narrator in combination with a well written story. I would encourage you to check out The Night Circus. Jim Dale is an amazing narrator! I've heard wonderful things about Will Wheaton's narration as well, but I haven't had a chance to listen to one of his yet.<br /><br />Terri M., the Director<br /><a href="http://secondrunreviews.com" rel="nofollow">Second Run Reviews</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882705723808051339noreply@blogger.com
