Reading for the Busy Man or Woman

I hated my drives to and from work. All I could do was listen to the radio regurgitating the news that I had already read about in the newspaper....But I actually heard a news story that got my attention. It seems audio books are becoming increasingly popular with commuters. Since then, books on CDs have provided an interesting way to keep my mind challenged while making the most out of what was otherwise wasted time in my daily schedule.

Buying Hillary Clinton's re-release of her earlier work as a book on tape and listening to it at the gym, I was able to thoroughly work on both my mind and body in the time it used to take to complete only one of those tasks. And I finished the book before it was even out of the news. Likewise, when packing for a vacation, whether driving or flying, I am sure to bring along several audio books on CD. Not only do they provide interest as I travel they also provide something to talk about when I arrive at my destination.

In the past I would unwind after a long day or week by watching television, a medium of entertainment I have observed rapidly getting worse in recent years. But I rarely decided to pick up anything with words on it in the evening or on the weekends simply because I was worn out from so many hours of staring at figures on a computer screen at work. Now, my wife and I select an audio book that interests us both to listen to for a while before supper. With our eyes and hands unoccupied we are free to either relax and listen or to get to work on one of our endless home improvement projects.

These days, at any given time, I am reading three books: one I listen to in my car driving to and from work, one I take to the gym, and one my wife and I listen to at home when we really can’t stomach another crime drama. I enjoy the prestige of being the most well-read person in my office; moreover, being up to date both on current issues and topics of historical importance gives me a valuable perspective on the day's important events.

Well, I would love to share more but I just heard that Bob Newhart's new book is available in audio form on CD. I hate to rush off, but I have important listening that I'm anxious to get to.
