Audio Books

Are you tired of waiting impatiently for a new book to become available, leaping for it as soon as it shows up in the catalog, and then finding yourself the two hundred and forty seventh hold? How did all those people get there before you!? Okay, maybe it’s just me who thinks this way. But here’s an alternative – all of those yummy new titles like The Good Husband of Zebra Drive, or A Thousand Splendid Suns,come not only in traditional book form but also in audio book form, and they don’t get nearly the number of holds. Sure, you can’t exactly read ’em in the tub, but hey, you can listen to them while driving. So if you have a CD player,you might want to think about grabbing a CD version of the latest hot title just for a change. It makes commutes go faster, and has way less of a wait. And sometimes the accents and silly voices the narrators put on in all earnestness are quite hilarious.
