WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS ABOUT AUDIO STORIES?

As a dedicated audio story listener, and a book reader, here are my thoughts:
1) Listening puts life in the words on the page
2) The professional voice actors make the story come off the pages, giving it drama
3) The reader puts character voice interpretation in the story; I can feel and sense the emotion of the story more deeply
4) I can listen to a book for entertainment while working around the house—makes the work time seem to pass quicker, I don’t mind the work as much
5) I can listen while I’m walking miles on my treadmill. I forget about the boredom and walk even further
6) I can listen while driving. I never go on a trip without a couple of audio books
7) I can listen while soaking in the tub
On Goodreads.com, there was an interesting question with numerous responses. The question was asked, “How do you know when you are an audiobook junkie?”
