Discussion Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I still love physical books (obviously) but I feel like I have been able to really get through a lot more books with audio. And the ones I love, I REALLY love in audio. I've got a couple of titles I own in print, paperback, ebook AND audiobook (The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue).

I really think I have ADD at this stage in my life so it's easier for me to listen to an audiobook and do other things, rather than sit and try to concentrate on a print book.

Maybe that's why I love manga so much—they are short.

This is me. It takes me so much more effort to be able to concentrate on a book at this point.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I can't deal with audiobooks - I'm fine with e-books and paper versions, but the audios just don't work for me.

DXM, the book was reviewed on Smart Bitches Trashy Books - the reviewer gave it a B+.

Because books.

I figured out that audio books only work for me if I'm doing something at the same time, like washing dishes or cooking or cleaning. If I try to just sit and listen to one, my mind wanders. They're good in the car, too, but I'm never in the car for that long anymore.

That's where I am with podcasts. I can listen if I'm walking somewhere or driving somewhere but otherwise I don't/can't.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Thanks for letting me know.

The review is here. They're mostly for romances, but they do review other genres. And the daily books on sale is a bit too tempting for me.

Audiobooks only work for me if I have a migraine. Otherwise my brain slides away from listening.

Lately they have been helping me fall asleep if I'm too anxious, but my usual is to only listen to them when I'm driving.

Because books.

What I'm craving right now is big full-color illustrated coffee table books about fascinating things, like a history of fashion or ballet or pastry.
