Where Would You Not Read?

December 4, 2011

In the car, cooking dinner, folding laundry, slaying to in Titan Quest, while knitting, shucking beans, sewing, carding, spinning…..

Knitting to an Audiobook

Chili Roasting to an Audiobook

Driving to an Audiobook

Computer Playing with an Audiobook

Where wouldn’t you read?

With the availability of audiobooks, such as downloadables from Audible.com, and slim electronic pads of reading happiness like the Kindle, there are few places and activities that preclude reading/listening to a book. Whether commuting or driving, exercising or grocery shopping, waiting around for the bus or pretending to pay attention to that all-hands meeting, we can be thoroughly entertained nearly everywhere doing nearly anything.

But still, a few activities and locations may still preclude bookage.

    ? One of these answers belongs in your Marital Bliss article– RE: love poetry.

      I guess you could combine public performance, sex, and poetry.

        I’m going to start posting more Elizabethan poems about “gardens”.

          Is this kind of like Georgia O’Keefe ‘flower’ paintings?

    Duncan would be wagging his eyebrows. I’ll find one and post it. They’re not even “bawdy”, they’re…well, you’ll see what I mean.

    unfortunately for me right now the answer is in the car. My cd player is on the fritz and I’m not savvy enough to figure out to listen to the ipod in the car.

      You can pick up iPod speakers for like $20 or less. They are small and give pretty good sound.
