Audio Books - 5 Reasons to Love Them

Author : Terrell Jacobs



The typical hardcover or paperback book is not going anywhere.
The format shows no signs of ever dying off, even after
considering the many technological advances made in recent
years. It would, however, be foolish to deny the obvious and not
so obvious benefits of listening to audio books. Here are some
ways audio books could be put to use:





1. Do you like reading poetry? Then experience it in the
way it was meant to be experienced: with your ears! Back in the
good old days, it was not uncommon for poets to recite their
works before a swooning audience. The great Irish poet and
playwright, W.B. Yeats, was said to have written poetry in such
a manner that, when vocalized, it would have a certain effect on
the ears of its hearers. If you like the writings of T.S. Eliot,
there is actually available a recording, on compact disc, of Mr.
Eliot himself reading his own poetry. It's obviously a
fascinating investment for fans of Eliot. It's only one in a
series called The Voice of the Poet.



2. Fight road rage while listening to audio
books--seriously.
Statistics show that violent crime
resulting from what is commonly known as "road rage" has
increased tremendously over the past couple of years. If you
happen to be one of those individuals with a bit of a
mean-streak when behind the wheel, then don't take to the
boulevard without Waitley's Optimal Stress Reduction in your
passenger seat--or simply check out a few of the innumerable
audio book titles available in your local book store in the
self-help section.



3. Revisit the "Golden Age of Radio". It is now possible
to find a vast array of classic radio dramas on compact disc.
Fans of The Shadow radio program have known this, and are
undoubtedly pleased. Also, if you happen to like The Twilight
Zone television series, then try to get your hands on a copy of
The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas--Lou Diamond Phillips and Adam
West are among the talent contributing to these programs..



4. Struggling in child-rearing? Audio books just might
be part of the solution. Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix is a hit with the kids (just as every other Harry Potter
book has been); and an obvious choice might be an audio book
from the Lord of the Rings series--these classic Tolkien works
are available in abridged and unabridged editions..



5. Learn another language ... in your sleep. When you
fall asleep your brain doesn't just turn off. On the contrary,
research has shown that the sleeping brain does receive, process
and perhaps even store information. So why not use your good
nights sleep effectively by listening to one of the many foreign
language audio books. And while this technique may not be the
only means of mastering a second or third language, it will make
things a little bit easier..





If these uses don't seem practical to you, they might put you
in the mindset to think of your own ways to utilize audio books.
And although some may say that listening to audio books is no
substitute for reading, the growing popularity of audio book
rental services such as Jiggerbug.com may eradicate paper books
completely or at least come close!
