Before we left for vacation, I got my iPod all ready. We were going to listen to music & podcast to pass the time on the road. But I couldn't find the adapter we had that broadcast your iPod to a radio station that your car can tune into. So at the last minute I ran to the library to pick up some audio books. (Yuck.)
I've never been much of an audio book fan because I can read a book WAAAAY faster than someone can read it aloud to me. But we had hours & hours in the car, sooooo…I was willing to try it. Here's what I checked out from the library…
- Ben Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson
- His Excellency: George Washington by Joseph Ellis
- John Adams by David McCullough
These books were great! They ended up making the time fly. Cathy & I WANTED to hit the road & hear more. And we learned a TON about the Revolutionary War era (we are some serious
history buffs).
Audio books are awesome because you can’t read a book while driving and listening to radio is just a wast of time.
24,000 miles and you can learn the equivalent of a 2 year degree.
How’s it going with the Tom Rath book? The StrenghtsFinder stuff is great!
