Do you love a good story? Do you remember being read to as a child? Do you remember being transported to the places and connecting with the people in the story? LISTENING to a good book can be just as satisfying as reading one. It can be even more satisfying if the reader can capture your interest with his vision of the story, and bring you into it, just as an actor can do when he portrays a character. If you have never listened to an audio book, you owe yourself this great experience.
