Read any good books lately???

The problem with audiobooks for me is I tune out...if I'm going to have an audiobook, I have to have the text in front of me as well. Stick me in a car with an audiobook and 20 minutes later, I won't be able to tell you what was said...

That is a big part of the problem with me for audiobooks as well. I feel like I really have to concentrate really hard in order to know what is going on. Thank goodness I never had this problem growing up or I would have really had problems learning things in school

Sorry to hear that - for me, I've never had a problem with audiobook in the car so it's the perfect solution for going to and from work (after all, how much Disney music can you listen to during the day?).

Right now I'm reading Game of Thrones on my book reader.

Does the HBO series follow the book or not?

[NaCler]

DAR - Excellent choice. I'm on Book 3 now and they just get better.

mindflipper - The first season was almost identical to the book. Just a few small details were added/changed and one character emerged on the show that does not play a big part in the book. (Roz, if anyone is watching/wondering)

Thanks for info, NaCler. I watched the first series, and without some background it could be hard to follow (I re-watched the first episode again after the finale). Also, it felt a bid slow, too, which may not be in its favor to getting renewed for a third season if the second season is as slow as the first.

I'm reading the Girl Who Played With Fire

My Mom loves audio books, but I just can't seem to get into them. I travel a lot during the week for work and it would be nice to "read" this way, but I find I just can't concentrate when someone is reading to me. I just end up tuning it out

I'm the same way. I'd love to be able to catch up on some of my reading like this. My wife does it all the time. But like you, I just end up tuning it out and don't get anything out of it. Imagine that: too distracted by driving to pay attention to the audio book...

I didn't know you could read???? I often wondered if you have one of those audio programs on your computer. Or did you think it was eat any good books lately???? BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to tell you about it in an email a while back, but I guess since you can't read...

On topic, I'm currently about halfway through a collection of works by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I'm trying to read The Hunger Games trilogy right now... one of my roommates bought them to preview-read them for her 7th grade niece so I'm borrowing them as she finishes. I don't get the hype. They're okay but nothing earth-shattering. My biggest complaint is the drawing-out of everything and vague details. Just get to the point, Ms Collins.

Hunger Games trilogy, Ghost in the Wires, and now I am reading Mystery. All of those are highly recommended!
