Being a die-hard at anything I do, I continue to read novels. Sadly, it was starting to take me 3 months to read just one novel, instead of the 3 or so hours it used to take me when I had more time.
I would read a chapter on one day and then put the novel aside. In two weeks time, when I had some free time on my hands, I would read another chapter. Then it would be another 2 or 3 weeks before I could read another. And so on, until I would finish just one novel.
I didn't like this and knew that there had to be a better way of STILL getting the value of a novel in the same 3 hours it used to take me, instead of the 3 months it now takes me to finish just one novel.
I started asking for a way out ... thankfully, I found one... Audiobooks!
I simply buy the novel I want to buy, not in hardcover or paperback, but in audiobook format - containing the exact same content of the novel in spoken-word!
Now I don't have the limitations I used to have with "reading" my favorite novels.
In the morning while doing my chores of exercising, making breakfast, dressing up for work, etc, I listen to my novel in audiobook format. While commuting to work, I continue from where I stopped. During break at work, I also listen. And before driving back home from work, I complete the remaining part of the novel.
Total time spent - about 4 hours for each novel.
Yes, it's now far easier to find the audiobook format of that favorite book of yours than you ever imagined!
