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.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.
Buffy ,'Potential'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Audiobooks + driving = perfection

I look more rad than Lutheranism
When I'm driving, I have to listen to audiobooks I've already read. If I haven't read them before, I get too absorbed in them and don't pay attention to the road.
I can also never listen to a David Sedaris audiobook while I'm driving, because I almost ended up in a ditch that way once.

I had much the same happen to me with listening to "Blue Bayou" during a 3 a.m. drive. I love Linda Ronstadt, but not quite enough to die for her.

Driving long distances on long boring freeways, I should say. If I have to do a lot of turning or negotiating traffic, then no.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
However, I'm down with a really bad migraine today, so I am listening to an audiobook. If you like slow-build creepy, Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand is excellent.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Audiobooks + driving = perfection
I've been wondering how the lack of commutes is impacting audiobook/podcast stats. My daily listening is waaaaaay down.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't drive and I commute by bus; I've found that I prefer to read an e-book on the bus ... partly so I can look up and see where I am and stop at the end of a chapter or section and, unfortunately, partly for safety reasons.

What is even happening?
Argument with husband. He insists audiobooks are not "reading."
I will die on this hill.
You have my sword.
I love you people.
