Do you listen to audio books? Where do you usually get them?

annamol @annamol (275) • United States 15 Jul 10

I like to listen to audio books. If you are pressed for time - it's a very good choice. When I do any mechanical routine, I like to occupy my mind with some listening. I usually get audio books from the local library.
