After my last post I was curious to see how many books I’ve listened to in the two years that I’ve been a subscriber to Audible. I’ve listened to these while working out, sitting in airports, working around the house, and driving to and from work. As you can see, most are fiction or biographies. I’ve found that highly theoretical works of non-fiction are better read than heard.
