Great choices .

Now that I have an iPod, I've been having a glorious time buying up book after book. I listen while I cook, while I walk, while I exercise. I'm so busy with my own writing and editing during the day that I crave escape. Audiobooks let me read when I normally couldn't. I read/listen to all sorts of books, from mysteries to literature to women's fiction to just plain old non-genre fiction. My husband catches me grinning as I cook, willing to work out because I want to get to the next bit in the story--even if I've read it before. I'm the one who got in trouble for not doing her homework because of that book in my lap. Granted, I'm too old for anyone to chastise me, but now even my workaholic brain can't criticize the time I spend with other folks' worlds.Normandie Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598870265371056412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-10482304284132973312013-01-10T16:36:36.436-05:002013-01-10T16:36:36.436-05:00Another thought provoking post, Ellen!

However, perhaps you've just reinvented the concept of folding laundry!!
