I have a friend who swears by Audible.com, which is the same idea (and I think maybe a little cheaper?). But also check out your public library website too — my husband downloads all his audiobooks from there for free!

It never ceases to amaze me that, with a bit of extra looking online, you can stumble on some of the most unique blogs. It’s frustrating that more websites like this, arent listed at the top when I search with google online, I have added you to my bookmarks, I also have a pal, that will really enjoy this page, so ill send her, a link to your site, as well. I am certain they will really love it.

I love audio books, and am on my way right over to this one–sounds like a great resource! I also adore Libravox.org though it’s just for public domain books (so nothing new)–there’s something so charming, though, about having all sorts of different people “line up” to read Alice in Wonderland to you .

You’re so right! The homework involves my two favorite things: a notebook and lists. Loving it!

Years ago I had a 2.5 hour commute to work and back…it was horrible! Anyway, I listened to audio books a lot and loved it. I agree that it’s very relaxing. This is a wonderful idea!

great idea and thanks for introducing us to site. i typically listen to NPR for “de-stressing” in traffic but like the idea of listening to books while driving (v. efficient use of time)!

I used to listen to books on cd and motivational cds in the car all the time. I don’t spend that much time in the car these days and I miss it! I have tried downloading books to my ipod and listen while I do housework, but then I can’t hear the kids screaming my name…wait…that’s not a bad thing!

@Erin: I love this idea: side by side radio listening. Great thought! I’ve long been trying to convince my husband to listen to NPR, but he’s a KGO junkie. He and Amanda would get along well!

@Deren: that’s the biggest thing for me, listening to audio books makes me feel like I’m “finding” relaxing time in my busy day. I especially like that this time comes while I’m sitting in traffic, when I’d otherwise be stressed and irritated.

I am a talk radio JUNKIE! My 4 year old knows Rush and Glenn. I’ve never tried an audio book before…unless you count the Disney books that used to come on cassette tape in the 80s.
