Tigger,

I listen to books on tape all the time, but NOT in the car. LOL. Too

distracting and I need to keep my mind on the road. Music is better for me

when driving. I like to read but I need to keep working and active so books on

tape are wonderful when using the tread mill, doing handy work or cleaning the

house. I also use them when I can't sleep at night or when I am working on

the computer, like right now. I really do listen to them and remember what I

hear.

Try the books when you are doing other things and see how you like them.

I listen to books on tape most of the day. I wear a Walkman and listen to

books while I do my housework; I listen while I do my exercising; and then, I

pop the tape in the player in the car and listen while I'm driving. I've gone

through TONS of books and I find that I get a lot more housework done, too!

DH uses audio books in the car on long drives, I use them in the gym

for cardio portion of my routine. Helps with the boredom of riding a

bike to nowhere or climbing stairs that never end! I enjoy them-

can't seem to keep the coordination needed to read and climb and the

added benefit is that I don't listen to them at any other time so

when it's a really good book I look forward (who said that?!) to

going to the gym.

BTW, I buy mine at a factory outlet center bookstore so I get them

just a couple of bucks each and when I'm done I pass them on to my

mother who has trouble with her eyesight and can't read more than a

few pages at a time.

I love books on tape. My only problem is when I get to my

destination I hate to get out the car cause I want to hear the rest

of the book.

I love mysteries, thrillers, and spy novels. It is a great way for

me to handle long communtes.

Tigger and anyone else, You can rent audio tapes from the Cracker Barrel

restaurants that are found usually along the freeways. Just drop them off at the

next one along the way and pick up another one. Another good source of used

tapes is Half Price Books......I have enjoyed listening to them. I drove myself

a

few years ago from Houston to Callaway Gardens in Georgia for a Needlework

seminar listening to The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and had a good

laugh.
