As you can imagine, I spend a great deal of time in the car, and local radio just wasn't keeping my attention. Then I found Audible.com. It's a site to download books onto cd or your ipod (or whatever your listening device is). I have to say - it's one of the best things I have done for myself since the start of the new year.
Audible.com works kind of like NetFlix - you can choose the plan that fits your needs. Right now I am listening to about one book per month - and am loving it. I go back and forth between something motivational, non-fiction and fiction. So far I have listened to a motivational seminar on "Becoming Unstappable," "Eat, Pray, Love," and I am currently listening to "Atonement."
With so many books and so little time in my life - I am loving this and hope all of you with lots of car time, travel time, or sit on the patio time check it out, too!
