Stephen King on why he loves a good audiobook
If you're an audiobook fan, you've probably had the same experience as the author of the attached article had - missing an exit or sitting in the garage until the story finishes on your car audio system. I'm an audiobook junkie, constantly listening in the car and at home. Not such a bad habit to have and it keeps me up to date on stuff I need to "read" while I get other mundane stuff done. One of my favorites lately is a teen fiction title, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's a vampire romance. Not to everyone's taste, but it's intriguing. Around the World in 80 Days read by Jim Dale (who also read the Harry Potter series) is another classic listen. If you had to come up with your top 10 audiobooks, what have you listened to lately that you're raving about?

Audiobooks are the best, but some people would say "that's not the same as reading." No, it's not the same, it's way better! I've even gotten my husband to listen along when we're out & about, he won't admit it but he gets into it as much as I do. Listen to something read by Scott Brick, he's my favorite right now.

Listening to books is a great way for me to catch up or keep on top of what is out there. Tim Curry's readings of "A series of unfortunate events" are very fun. One of my favorites was "My sisters keeper" by Jodi Picoult.
