I have pretty much switched to listening to Audio books. I do not really know why, but I find that I absorb the information and understand what is happening when I listen rather than read. I think it has a lot to do with my very short attention span. When I decide to read, I have to lock myself away in a dark corner where there is no sound, otherwise i get distracted very easily. With audio books, I can multitask a little more and still understand what is happening in the story. Maybe it is because I am from a more digital age and did not start really reading until I as older, but the thought of a book in my hands does not appeal to me as it does to most, I have read a majority of my books on e-readers...so maybe that is part of it.
