Thanks for posting this link. They have some pretty interesting reads. Now the challenge is to see how long I can actually sit at my computer and read........ Crazy

Audio books are pretty cool. Those I listen to in the blazer if I have a long drive. I used to check them out from the library. Apache Junctions library isn't big at all, but they sure do get the newest releases of movies/cd's pretty quick. I am there at least 3 times a week. I love to read. It feeds your brain....and I definitely need that... Smile

I use the audio books also, on tape or CD. "Cold Mountain" was the better that way than the movie, and the movie was pretty darn good to.

Phoenix has Interlibrary Loan, if you know what you want and are patient, they will order it up from all over the country. I listened to "The Agony and the Exstacy" from a library in Alaska. "Cadillac Desert" is pretty good also.

They are great for long drives, the time and miles just melt away. Also if you commute, NPR is ok but it gets old also.

I DID notice that they had audio downloads.

Cold Mountain IS a pretty cool flick. I am going to have to look out for that. My library does interlibrary loans. I'm going to check into that more.

I am currently storing all my cassettes onto my computer (don't know the technical name for this, just know how to do it). Smile

Into thin air I have never heard of.Sometimes just to kick it up a notch I will toss in a Blue Collar Comedy Tour cd or a cd from just on of them (Bill, Larry, Ron or Jeff). My favorite is Bill Engvall. He gets me every time, especially w/ his family jokes.

Heather, Into Thin Air was the most riviting horror story I have ever read. It was all real and it happened in the outdoors as well. I read Cold Mountain twice.

Rub it in , rub it in......LOL
You sounded just like them in the movie. Smile

I was very impressed w/ her acting in that movie. I laughed a lot thinking, "Is she really acting like that?" Just goes to show how talented some people are.

Love audio books although there is a certain pleasure just curling up in a comfy chair with a good book too!
