Do you have a favorite book that you’d
like to read over and over again but life has become too hectic for you to
indulge? What about your book club’s book-of-the-month? Can’t find enough hours
in the day to complete your chapters before the next book discussion? How about
that new juicy summer read that your best friend keeps raving about and,
although your heart is willing, time slips through your fingers at a moment’s
notice? Traveling to an exotic locale where learning a new language is ‘par for
the course’? Audiobooks to the rescue! Listening to audiobooks during your
commute to work, school, etc. or engaging in other activities such as jogging,
cleaning, etc. can be a refreshing and rewarding experience. A 2010 consumer
survey conducted by the Audio Publishers Association stated that frequent
listeners of audiobooks read a median of 15 books the past year alone compared
to 6 books by non-audiobook readers. So, with this in mind, start checking off
your book wish list and jumpstart your very own summer reading program; Start
listening!
