It takes me 30-35 minutes to drive each way to work each morning. Most of the time, I just listen to the radio, but I am looking for a better option. Books on disk are very cool, but also very expensive, so I have only listened to them on long trips. I just went to the Wake County Public Library website and found they have 4844 Audio Disk titles. Some of them are music disks, but it looks like the bulk of them are novels and non-fiction books. I check out the audio CD’s whenever we go to the Holly Springs Library, but their selection is not so hot. Today, I found that I can request them to be sent to the library of my choice online. I have to get a PIN before I can do that, so that will be at the top of my priority list. This is really great because, at this time in my life with the kids, work, and a million projects, I just do not have much time to get any reading done. The other thing for which I think this will be great is when I am doing my workout in the exercise room at work. They have a TV in there, but the two guys that get there before me always have the stationed tuned to The Price is Right. I can feel my brain cells committing suicide before they are co-opted into the Borg from watching that show, so I am hoping I can drown it out with a good audio book while I am on the treadmill.
