Books For Ears
Posted by Lanea on Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
Last New Year, I decided to take a long break from buying books. And, not so coincidentally, during the last year I bought an iPod with a lot of memory using my unspent book money, and then developed an obsessive audiobook habit, supported entirely by my local library. My perennial dilemma–knit or read on the metro?–evaporated. Knit and read is a much better option.
Two of my dearest friends are also obsessive book listeners, and one suggested an idea, and conversations bloomed, and suddenly: Books for Ears. It’s still embryonic, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot of fun. I just added a review for Oryx and Crake.
Happy New Year.

This is bad, because I have no idea which bookmark folder to use so I remember.
I stuck it in lit. Remind me, okay?

Seriously, I’ve daydreamed my way through hours and hours of NPR in my life. I love it, just doesn’t mean I’m necessarily paying attention.
