Audio Books

So I have a new discovery.  Audio Books.  I had a goal to check out a book from the library.  I did... sort of...  I'm counting it anyway.  I haven't been to the library in years.  Really since college.  I stopped in with my son to show him around a few years ago but we have so many books at home there's really no reason to go there.  I decided to swing in while I was driving by and take a peak.  After wandering around like a rookie for 10 minutes, I stumbled across a section titled AUDIO.  Books on CD's.

Lately, I have been making 2 - 3 trips a week to Augusta.  Each trip is about 3.5 hours round trip.  I decided I would rent an audio book to meet my goal but also to keep me from listening to talk radio on my trips.  I rented The Martian by Andy Weir.  It's fantastic and in the past 2 days I have been able to get through almost half of it so far.

One more item off the list, and nearly half a book "read".  I'm counting it towards my reading goal too.  Why not.  A book's a book and I feel the experience is different but just as fulfilling even though I am hearing it and not reading it.
