Reading for the Busy Person
After being bored to death during my long, morning commute, I
actually heard a news story that got my attention. It seems audio books
are becoming increasingly popular with commuters. Since then, audio
books have kept me stimulated during those otherwise tedious wasted
drives.
Purchasing Bob Woodward’s latest expose as a book on
tape and listening to it at the health club, I was able to thoroughly
strengthen both my body and my mind in the time it used to take to
perform only one of those tasks. And I finished the book before some
people even heard it was out. Likewise, when packing for a business
trip, whether driving or flying, I am sure to bring along several audio
books on CD. Not only do they provide interest as I travel they also
make for great conversation when I arrive at my destination.
In the past I would unwind after a long day or week by
watching television, a medium of entertainment I have observed
precipitously deteriorating in recent years. But I wasn't likely to
pick up anything to read in the evening or on the weekends simply
because I was worn out from so many hours of reading so many memos at
work. Now, my lovely wife and I select an audio book that interests us
both to enjoy for a while before dining. With our eyes and hands
unoccupied we are free to either unwind and listen or to straighten the
house.
On any given day, I am reading three books: one I listen to in
my car driving to and from work, one I take to the health club, and one
my wife and I listen to at home when we really can’t stomach
another “reality” show. I enjoy the prestige of
having a reputation as the most well-read person in my office;
moreover, being up to date both on current issues and topics of
historical importance gives me an informed perspective on the news of
the day.
I'd like to write more but I just learned that former senator
John Danforth's provocative book is available in audio form on CD. I'm
sorry to end this, but I have some reading scheduled.
