Are you fond of audio books?
I’m a booklover but I have to admit that I haven’t tried listening to a whole audio book yet. I tried listening to bits and pieces of the Harry Potter 6 audio book but couldn’t concentrate long enough to understand a whole chapter.
Anyway, I know there are lots of people who are fond of audio books. If you have no time to read books but spend a lot of time commuting or on the road driving, audio books is the way to go to catch up on your reading.
So where could you find a huge collection of audio books online? Music-Clubs.com have lots of audio books ranging from Fiction, Non-Fiction, Business, Self-Help, Religion and a section for kids as well.
The site is quite easy to navigate with plenty of sections for sub genres and they also offer recommendations for similar books that you choose. They also have lists of bestsellers from NY Times, Busines Week and Publisher’s Weekly.
They serve their audio books via Audible.com but the download cost does not come cheap (for me at least). For example the one I’m reading right now, Dean Koontz’s The Husband, can be bought for $7.99 from Amazon but costs $31.46 when downloaded as an audio book. Still, if your time to read is scarce then you need to spend more for audio books.
The site also offers subscription where you can pay for as low as $7.49 per month to download one audio book of your choice.

I also am a book lover. My favorite hangout place is Fully Booked in Bonifacio High Street. Almost every week, I buy 1 or 2 or more books. I love the smell of the pages and the sound it creates when you turn them. Having said that, audio books are not for me. But I know of some people who are into it. Maybe they are more of auditory learners rather than visual.
calvin: yeah same here. i’m more of a reader than a listener when it comes to books.
