And what you say is absolutely correct. I am also a speed reader and it is only actually having to sit and listen to those passages I would normally skip over, has made me realise how long winded some of my favourite authors actually are! Some of Ruth Rendell and PD James more recent books are SO wordy, I think they have somewhat lost the plot, and only by listening do you realise. However. it doesn't stop me enjoying either a good listen or a good read!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-3337075599895546882014-02-18T00:20:02.278-08:002014-02-18T00:20:02.278-08:00Velly intelesting.

I listened to one or two with him and found them unexpectedly gripping. Like you, I am a terrible skim reader, quite often having to go back and re-read bits...Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035623586391505133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-86768284724252624462014-02-17T23:21:39.681-08:002014-02-17T23:21:39.681-08:00I've tried a couple of audio books, but I don&...I've tried a couple of audio books, but I don't like to hear men reading female parts in high whiny falsettos, so I'm looking for someone I can stand listening to. Audio books in the car are a great idea though, you will be so well read!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-56034599281647749302014-02-17T16:02:36.217-08:002014-02-17T16:02:36.217-08:00The technology involved leaves me astounded.
