I hate it when people say that reading books is a waste of time. For one, you gain new knowledge every time you read a book. Books can help you learn new skills or even improve the skills you already have. Second, you get to...

magicalart I love to read. I read anything I can get. I have even read encyclopedias, dictionaries and phone books. Growing up without electricity, reading was my favorite pastime.

Hi all, I am an avid reader and have just started listening to books on smartphone while driving to and from work. I am curious about what sites you all use to get audible books from at a decent price. Thanks for responses.

audible

books

reading

magicalart I use audible.com. I have a monthly plan where I can get one book a month, but they almost always have books on sale. I like that I can use it on different platforms. I use it on my smartphone and my computer. It's normally pretty good at bookmarking where I'm...

I like reading, but lately I want to be able to read a book while doing workouts on the elliptical. Ebooks and kindle solved that. And recently I tried audible. I have known about this app which is basically an audio book version...

magicalart I've been using audible for about a year now. I enjoy the convenience of it. I'm an avid reader but sometimes it's just not convenient to have an actual book. I walk alot and it is easier to listen to a book on my long walks. I've gotten quite the collection...

magicalart @ElicBxn Unfortunately, I believe that is true. I had heard that there was a television series in the making but that also didn't come to be. Another author I enjoy has gotten a television series. Terry Brook's Shannara series is pretty good so far.

magicalart I was saddened to hear the news of Carrie Fischer passing away. 2016 has been an awful year for deaths. We have lost a lot of great people. The Star Wars universe will mourn the Princess.

magicalart I've read all the Pern books, both in release date order and chronological order. I was introduced to Dragonsong when I was a young teen. I've read most of Anne McCaffrey's work. I was very sad to see that she passed away. The rumor of a Pern movie has been...

magicalart I've been around rabbits all my life and some of them can be pretty evil. There are certain breeds, such as checkered giants, that are a little more tempermental. A rabbit is definitely not an animal I would recommend for a small child's pet. Some rabbits can...

magicalart No problem. I know how difficult it can be just to survive in these times. What can make it more difficult is having kids who depend on you. I worry every day about my children and hope that sometime soon we'll be able to get a place of our own.

magicalart Ionia is a county and a town in Michigan. It's located in the lower peninsula near Lansing. My opinion of Ionia is that it has an awful lot of prisons for one little town. My favorite thing is the Ionia Free Fair (which is not free, by the way). It's lots of...
