Can’t read? Not much for book lernin’? Then you’re in luck! The latest news is that Random House audio will be publishing Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet as an audio book––so now those voices in your head will have good company.

Seriously though, I’m beyond stoked. I love audio books and have a monthly subscription at audible.com. (Why don’t you?) I just listened to Garth Stein’s, The Art of Racing in the Rain, and it’s wonderfully produced, as well as just being a fantastic read. Books like Rain, written in first-person, just seem to come alive in audio form. I can’t recommend it enough.

I’m convinced that books and podcasts are the real reasons iPods were invented. That and to keep my kids mesmerized on long road trips.

Do you listen to audio books? If not, I have one I’d like to recommend. It comes out next January…
