Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. ☀️☀️☀️

10 December 2024

Do you like audio books? I've noted that many people don't like them or are at least blase about listening to them. Me I love them, especially when traveling. I've bought many over the years, starting with books on cassettes, then CDs, and now downloads. I keep hundreds on a USB memory stick which I keep plugged into my car and listen to them whenever I want. I gave my cassettes to Goodwill a while back. I still read, of course, and also have a small library of hard back novels. I generally do not buy both an audio and a hard back of the same book. I tried digital reading for a while, but that passed.

"Listening to the dulcet tones of a familiar voice is an appealing way to work our way through those books we’ve always meant to get around to but haven’t." - Clare Thorp
