Wonderful post! I’m another fan of audiobooks (see http://adsoofmelk.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/in-praise-of-audiobooks/), especially since it seems like I’m in the car constantly.

Tess of the D’Urbervilles and The Scarlet Letter worked well for us — thanks for the Animal Farm recommendation and the resources!

I’m taking public transport and the journey to my job takes about 40 mins, many people may consider it very uncomfortable, but I’m really thankful about those time, I can do my reading and as I read more, I can post more in my blog.

Again, it’s a limitation that can be an advantage, as I’m really using my time to read without any distraction, especially from my notebook.

I do enjoy reading while traveling!
Cheers,
Robert

You know, that’s funny. My Mom and I do that NOW when we go away together. We bring along a “trip book” to read together to pass the time in the car and to avoid turning on the television. It’s so much nicer than sticking our noses in our own books because we’re doing it together, and when we have an audio-book version as backup for when we’re too tired to read out-loud ourselves, even better!

Strange, though–getting her to discuss the book, any book, is hard!

Cindy, Thank you! Storynory.com is awesome!

Through it’s itunes link, I was able to set up subscritions to various sites that will now download stories directly. Some free subscription services that sound interesting:

internationaltales.com
candlelightstories.com

When my husband and I would travel, we would read a loud to each other. I really enjoyed those long trips for the discussions our readings sparked. I recently drove 16 hours with two toddlers. One of my tricks was downloading many of the fables and Grimms Tales for toddlers. Storynory.com has a great collection of children’s stories all for free. I also love our local library’s audio book selection.

Reading books or listening to audio books is always my favorite and I always have them copy to my mp3 or mp4 player so that I can listen to them whenever I am driving for hours (which I do every week)

Thanks for your recommendation.
