Audio Books - 5 Reasons To Love Them
By Terrell Jacobs, Mon Jan 2nd
/p> The typical hardcover or paperback book is not going anywhere.The format shows no signs of ever dying off, even afterconsidering the many technological advances made in recentyears. It would, however, be foolish to deny the obvious and notso obvious benefits of listening to audio books. Here are someways audio could be put to use:
1. Do you like reading poetry? Then experience it in theway it was meant to be experienced: with your ears! Back in thegood old days, it was not uncommon for poets to recite theirworks before a swooning audience. The great Irish poet andplaywright, W.B. Yeats, was said to have written poetry in sucha manner that, when vocalized, it would have a certain effect onthe 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 afascinating investment for fans of Eliot. It's only one in aseries called The Voice of the Poet. 2. Fight road rage while listening to audiobooks--seriously. Statistics show that violent crimeresulting from what is commonly known as "road rage" hasincreased tremendously over the past couple of years. If youhappen to be one of those individuals with a bit of amean-streak when behind the wheel, then don't take to theboulevard without Waitley's Optimal Stress Reduction in yourpassenger seat--or simply check out a few of the innumerableaudio book titles available in your local book store in theself-help section.
3. Revisit the "Golden Age of Radio". It is now possibleto find a vast array of classic radio dramas on compact disc.Fans of The Shadow radio program have known this, and areundoubtedly pleased. Also, if you happen to like The TwilightZone television series, then try to get your hands on a copy ofThe Twilight Zone Radio Dramas--Lou Diamond Phillips and AdamWest are among the talent contributing to these programs.. 4. Struggling in child-rearing? Audio just mightbe part of the solution. Harry Potter and the Order of thePhoenix is a hit with the kids (just as every other Harry Potterbook has been); and an obvious choice might be an audio bookfrom the Lord of the Rings series--these classic Tolkien worksare available in abridged and unabridged editions.. 5. Learn another language ... in your sleep. When youfall asleep your brain doesn't just turn off. On the contrary,research has shown that the sleeping brain does receive, processand perhaps even store information. So why not use your goodnights sleep effectively by listening to one of the many foreignlanguage audio books. And while this technique may not be theonly means of mastering a second or third language, it will makethings a little bit easier..
If these uses don't seem practical to you, they might put youin the mindset to think of your own ways to utilize audio books.And although some may say that listening to audio is nosubstitute for reading, the growing popularity of audio bookrental services such as Jiggerbug.com may eradicate paper bookscompletely or at least come close!
