Re: Isn't it distracting while driving to "hear" a book?

No, Straightforward, it isn't. It is like having a companion who talks non-stop about really interesting things, and if things get wild on the road, you can always turn it off.

I have found that when I am tired, if I listen to music on the road, the familiarity of the songs lulls me. BUT, a murder mystery being read keeps me awake and focused on everything, making me a better driver, until I can pull over and stop.

Re: written version

Vogue, I used to be a voracious reader, but then took up occupations that kept my hands too busy to hold books and with no time to stop and to hold them.

So, I began to listen to them as more and more appeared monthly at my library. I have now probably listened to 80 % of them, and that is because they keep buying new ones for us to listen to.

They are an art to begin to focus on, but once you have the skill, it is addictive. I just finished a 25 cd book and hated to place the last one in the player it was so much fun.
