Audio books

October 1, 2008

When was the last time you read a book? Me, I just finished reading Coelho’s The Zahir about three weeks ago. I used to read mostly non-fiction books particularly those in the business and self-development categories.

I love reading books but unfortunately I haven’t been able to integrate this with my recent activities. Sigh… reading has become a luxury for me since I am always catching up on my daily tasks.

Thus, the idea of audio books, listening to a book instead of reading a book, gives me hope. It means I can do multitasking - listen to a book while doing something else, such as tidying up my room or arranging my closet. Anyway, I found some downloadable audio books at Audible.com organized into business, education, fiction, romance, self-development and other categories. Hmmm… I wonder how a food audio book would sound like when played.

Driving a car…in my dreams!

I had a nice dream yesterday. I dreamed I was driving a car. Yey! At least I get to drive in my dreams. hehehe… I used to have driving lessons before but for some reason it did not continue. Nowadays, it’s dad driving us wherever we want to go. Hmmm… he doesn’t approve of me driving our van since he thinks I would have difficulties driving it. “Better drive a car,” was his advice. Anyway, I am not in a haste to learn how to drive, maybe I’d start reading some of the basics of how a car functions and maybe read something about internal combustion, engine parts, transmission fluid, replacing a power steering rack and anything that’s related to cars.
