My Name Is Carol And I Am Addicted To Audio Books By Paton Jackson, Sat Dec 10th
Hi, my name is Carol and I am addicted to audio books. My story: I am 32 and addicted to audio books. I have beentrying to cut back but I can't. I was first introduced to audio books 12 years ago. My parentsbought me a Stephen King audio book as a present. Itincluded 10 books on cassettes each 25 minutes. I finishedlistening to it the first night. Then, I started buying audiobooks for me and for each of my friend's birthdays (whether theyliked audio books or not).
As times passed I moved to audio books on CDs and later on todownloadable audio books. I have known all the online audio bookrental services and buying services. In fact, I had an accountin most of them. My average output was two audio books per week but I remembersome weeks where I skipped sleeping and listened to up to fiveaudio books. I purchased almost any new fiction audio book inthe market. I managed to find some free audio books but still paid a lot ofmoney for my audio book collection. I
got addicted to the comfort of having a "miniature" book. Igot addicted to the narration, the music and the sound effects. I got addicted to the ability to listen to audio books anytimeand anywhere (I remember listening to it in the bathroom and inwork and in other weird places). And then I decided to make the move. If I can't beat it, I wouldjoin it. I resigned from work and made a profession out of myhobby - I started making money out of my comprehensive knowledgeof audio books. Nowadays, I write reviews about new audio books and serve as aconsultant for audio books' publishers. I am happy listening tofree audio books and being paid for it (just finished listeningto the last Harry Potter audio book). Have you tried listening to audio books? Try it.
