I still prefer the regular way. Unless I am driving long distances, I guess. I think it’s important to give the brain “exercise” so I prefer reading. 11/27/2012 3:07:01 PM

Paper books. Ditto for the debate of paper versus e-readers. 11/27/2012 3:19:05 PM

If I have the option (ie at home and not traveling) I still prefer a physical book. I can appreciate e-readers when traveling to lighten the load and audio when driving for the convenience. I don't dislike either one but still prefer the physical copy if the situation is right  11/27/2012 3:36:41 PM

I prefer audio books. That way I can do other things while it's on. If I just sit reading books I fall asleep. 11/27/2012 3:44:15 PM

I listened to a bunch of Discworld books read by Nigel Planer and they were awesome. His voices helped the characters really establish themselves as unique individuals and gave them depth that it's almost impossible to get with just the written word.
When they got a new narrator however I couldn't listen to it anymore because all the voices had changed, and had to start reading them so that I could maintain their "true" voices in my mind. It was a sad day indeed. 11/27/2012 3:49:11 PM

^I kind of like to come up with that on my own in my head
Although, the guy who did the narration for most of the ASOIAF books does a great job. 11/27/2012 3:51:47 PM

I recently bought a kindle and I LOVE it!! The best part is for travel, I don't have to bring a ton of books with me. But it's also nice to have instant access to any book I want. (although sometimes e-book prices are ridiculously high. I'm not paying $12.99 for a 32kb file!) 11/27/2012 4:24:49 PM

I've never done an audio book but I feel like I would just tune it out and end up having to keep rewinding. 11/27/2012 9:56:45 PM

Audio books for the most part, for the simple fact that I fall asleep easily while reading.. then I get frustrated because I can never get very far without nodding off (and smacking my face with the book ), so audio books are the perfect solution. Besides, I think I get more into books when I listen to someone telling the story. I hate how some people read though - downside to it, I guess. 11/28/2012 2:02:04 AM
