HNT - MP3

I know this was the theme from several weeks ago, but I couldn't help revisit it, particularly given my rediscovery of the joys of listening to books on tape -- allowing me the distinct pleasure of being able to meet my "resolution" of reading MORE books in 2008.

Right now I'm listening to the unabridged audio book version of John Irving's Until I Find You. I'm only about 4 chapters in, but, like most of Irving's writing, it's a good, solid story and I'm quite enjoying the characters.

And for those who don't get all that excited about books, there's a hidden nekkid treat in a click-thru.

  2. Thats a great Idea,
    Maybe I should start taking more books in on tape.
    Do you think people read as much as they use to?
    Happy HNT!

  5. I like audio books too but use old fashioned tapes as I don't have an MP3 player - guess I should move into the 21st century. Happy HNT.

  7. I love the fun voices that they choose to do the books on tape. Such fun to get into the mood of it...with say..Vincent Prince or whoever...Ok I know hes dead but you know what I mean....

    Erm, I think he's dead, or, at least he oughta be by now.

    HHNT Mark!

  8. One of my neighbors reads books on tape for a living. Well, one of many things he does for a living . . .

    Wow - that click-thru was a surprise - looking VERY good, Mr. Lefebrve!

    HHNT!

  9. the only time I recall trying books on tape was on road trips, and somehow the road noise of the old cars drowned out the subtleties of the story... maybe I should try again with my MP3 player.

    Nice pics and HHNT
