Yes. The return of a storytelling indeed.
So delighted to read this in the New York Times today. Audio books rock, and are not just for old people. But be sure to pick the 'voice' very, very carefully. Listen to the entire sample. You're going to be 'living' with that voice for hours on end, so you'd better not find it in the least bit grating.

I just returned from my first iPad vacation. For the very first time, I took not a single “physical” book. Just an iPad, pre-populated with some yummy literary treats. The outcome? Good, but mostly not so good. Good because it… Continue Reading →
Back in October I ragged about the Kindle. In my defense, it was mostly about the touchy-feely bit of the Kindle. The device itself stunk, IMO. As a passionate reader (been in the same Book Club for almost 16 years… Continue Reading →
