I had to stop listening to Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species recently because it was too difficult to listen to the material. I think I'll have a better experience reading the book.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-5353188223437515852014-11-11T10:51:20.287-08:002014-11-11T10:51:20.287-08:00Who would have thought that listening for more tha...Who would have thought that listening for more than 10 minutes could be so hard! That's why I think it's very important that audiobooks have a good presentation to help the listener stay tuned the whole time.

Here's a link to the post on the topic: <br />http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2013/09/do-audiobooks-count-as-reading.html<br /><br />You're right audiobooks do bring on a new skill set of listening!! How one assimilates something via reading vs. listening is completely different as you already mentioned. Plus, I like the idea of being read to for a couple of reasons: I can easily listen to the audiobook while commuting, eating, and other simple tasks + being read to sort of reminds me of childhood when someone would read to me, I always enjoyed story time!!Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-64812138247309428002014-11-11T08:45:36.621-08:002014-11-11T08:45:36.621-08:00I remember when I used to not like audiobooks.

However, audiobooks are awesome since they challenge another skill: listening.Vonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987861951233408815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-34466579379321031882014-11-10T11:52:30.954-08:002014-11-10T11:52:30.954-08:00Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog!!

It's very rare when I listen/read any Christmas book. They don't call my attention, but when I do read them...I find myself liking them. I haven't read anything by Mary Higgins Clark. Maybe I'll try this one.
