Yeah, Yeah, I know it looks nothing like me, but it's as close as I could get.

Why I Will Never Prefer Audiobooks to Book Books

posted Friday, 27 June 2008

Situations In Which I Can Listen to Audiobooks: 

1. While driving (or riding) in a car.
2. While eating
3. While getting ready for work in the morning
4. While suffering from insomnia
5. While editing and uploading photos

Situations In Which I Cannot Listen to Audiobooks:

1. Every imaginable situation not included above, including (but not limited to) while sitting and doing nothing, surfing the Internet, falling asleep, and reading anything.  The *doing nothing* part is the number one reason why I don't regularly listen to audiobooks.  I can't just sit there and listen.  Unlike when I'm reading a book, I feel like I should be doing something else.  I'm used to listening to music while I read, reading something while listening to an audiobook doesn't work so well.  I also usually listen to NPR while eating and getting ready in the morning, and to my iPod while driving ... so audiobooks have got stiff competition.
