THREE ARTICLES on the debate regarding listening to vs. reading a book. I am particularly interested in this topic because I tried audiobooks, but found they weren’t for me. I wonder, was it the book? the narrator? or just the medium itself?

I really liked reading all the articles, except the Time one. Nice things to think about. Thanks for the smiles as well, Lynne. I will shut off my laptop and finish listening to the last chapter in my audiobook as I prepare for bed. 😀📚🎧

I’m glad you are enjoying audiobooks Carla. Perhaps I’ll try them again at some point… it has been about 3 years since I tried and I’m still recovering. Lol 🤣😂😍

Too Funny, Lynne. I know they aren’t for everyone. Before Ray passed, I did not listen to them at all. Now that I am alone, and am not a big television watcher, they work for me.
