I have finished 4 books this week, for a total of 6 books finished this year. 3 of the books I've "read" this week are audio books that I listened to mostly on my commutes to and from work and while walking on my breaks and lunches at work. Does that count as reading?
The same app I got from the library that allows me to "check out" books and listen them on my iPhone also allows me to check out books and read them on my iPhone. I love the printed page and am not a big fan of too much screen time. But it's hard to argue against the utility of downloading books. Now if I don't read or listen to a downloaded book from my library it goes away in 28 days limiting my ability to lose or not return said books to the library.
So for now I am compromising, I am reading some books the old fashioned way and other books I am reading with my ears. To clarify, the old way I was still reading with my ears. To cut them off and read without them would be almost unheard of. Oh Van Gogh you didn't!
Next Time:
I'll take colonoscopies for 300 Alex.
