How I Now
"Read" My Favorite Novel in 3 Hours Instead of 3 Months
Old habits die hard, they say. How right they are. I am a
novel freak and have been since the 4th grade when I read
an amazing novel that started me down the road of reading.
I continued this craze for reading right into college and
even early in my career. I didn't quit even when I got married
and had my first beautiful daughter.
But as you would expect, as I climb higher in my career and
the kids increase from 1 to 3, I am beginning to have less
time to spend doing what I loved so much - reading novels.
Being a die-hard at anything I do, I continued 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...
Audio books!
I simply buy the novel I want to buy, not in hardcover or
paperback, but in audio book 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 audio book 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.
Phew... how I love audio books for saving me so much time,
yet I'm still getting the same value!
If you haven't tried the amazingly wonderful advantages of
audio books yet, don't hesitate.
Apart from novels you can get almost any kind of book in audio
book format. From business books, professional books, motivational
books, etc, all can now be found in audio book formats.
Go online to find that book you have always wanted to "read"
but have never had the time to. Now you can ¡V with audio
books!
It's now far easier to find the audio book format of that
favorite book of yours than you ever imagined!
