Read Me A Story...


I like reading books. I like reading books multiple times. I think this is my 3rd time reading Celebration of Discipline. But now I'm into something new. Audiobooks.

I remember the books on 15 casettes. I never bought them. I remember books on 5 CDs. Couldn't bear it. But now...Audiobooks on one audio file, downloaded on my iPod!

Audible.com is a great site for audio books. They have so many types: fiction, nofiction, inspirational, leadership. A really cool thing is that they are often read by the author. Or sometimes by famous people. Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise (Patrick Stewart) reads one of the Chronicles of Narnia (The last in the series I think). That is a great narrator pick.

They have a great deal. Pay $9.95 for the year and download any book at 30% off. The books wind up costing between $10 and $20. You can also pay $14/month, get one book and the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal daily.

If you like books, I think this is a great deal. I listen mostly in the car during my 45-60 minute commute to and from work.

My latest read (listen?): The Purpose Driven Life.

Check it out.
