The best audiobooks are those which are freely downloadable so that we can all self-educate and learn our history. Fake history is a real problem,(I argue its a bigger problem than fake news) and this is but one solution.

The one thing I’ll say about audio books, is that if you are driving a long distance, it really cuts down on the feeling that the drive will never end.

The stories are enjoyable, and you remain engrossed in the plot and not the miles you’ve driven and still have to drive.

I highly recommend them for this purpose.

Many of them are probably going blind from staring at those tiny phone screens so much. ;-)

“”Print books remain the most popular format for reading, with 67% of Americans having read a print book in the past year””

Thank goodness I’m not considered one of the “behind the times” persons. I survived the “why don’t you have color TV”, “why don’t you have a push button phone”, “why don’t you have cable TV”, “why don’t you have a digital camera”, “why don’t you have a cell phone” and not nearly as bad, “why don’t you have a Kindle”...I want at least 6 books on my table to read in three weeks ready for the next trip to the library. May it never end!!

I listen while I am on the treadmill. It beats watching TV.

My mind wanders though. I cannot wait to walk outside again.

My favorite is “Risk Management.”

My first audio book was “Cardinal of the Kremlin”. Zero time passed until it ended in the middle of Nevada. The second half of the trip was very, very, very long.

What happened to their reading skills?

[tomkat]

I love audiobooks .. aging eyes don't do so well with book print anymore  :-\

[wally_bert]

I’d love both Burke books, Connections (1) and The Day The Universe Changed if read by the author.

[cazmandeuce]

Bookmarked. Thank you!

Nearly one-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks

Mostly young people, would be my guess! They've not learned to read while still graduating from high school. The dumbing down of America. One student at a time!

[Fiji Hill]

For four plus decades, I mostly listened to conservative talk radio when I was in my car. But when programming in my area came to be dominated by Glenn Beck and Mark Levin, neither of whom I can stand, I started listening to audiobooks.

I'm a big fan of LibriVox and audiobooks.

Some of the readers on LibriVox are just incredible. I'm thinking specifically of John Greenman's reading of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.

If you haven't got the Hoopla app, it's even better than LibriVox. It's free if you just put in your library name and library card number. They have a lot more free recent books than LibriVox which is mostly free only for works in the public domain. Hoopla has everything - audiobooks, ebooks, movies, tv, etc. and an enormous selection.

The only disadvantage of Hoopla compared to LibriVox is that LibriVox audiobooks are broken down into chapters while Hoopla's aren't. I'll read and listen to some long books and it's a lot harder to find your place in Hoopla than LibriVox. That's one of the great things about audiobooks is that (especially if you combine it with the physical book) it enables me to read long books like Cryptonomicon that I'd put off for years because I didn't want the huge time commitment as a slow reader.

"read audiobooks"

Apparently Im disabled, my laser has never worked properly.

I tried to listen to podcasts for awhile but the subjects I was interested in didnt seem to have any hosts who knew more than I did or they were clearly just talking about something that they had only read about.

TY for this resource. Ive tried to get audiobooks in the past but all I could ever find were fictions and I just dont really like listening or reading fiction. I cant believe how many non-fiction options are available here!
