Audiobooks 📙 🔉

I have become a big listener to audio books from the library, both on Hoopla and Libby. Audio books have one big advantage over E-books and paper books – they don’t have to get your undivided attention. Some people disagree with this notion – but it’s still a way to learn and think critically about issues – when you have to keep your eyes on the road or whatever you are doing.

Riding my bike to work and driving places are the two places where I do the most listening to audio books. When your hands are on the steering wheel or bike handles, it is a chance to give the audio book your undivided attention – in the sense you can’t easily flip over to other social media or other distractions. You start the book, and you get through it cover to cover. I have done so much more getting through full books on the bike then during any other activity.
