Let me just say, “I hate to read.” That being said, I have read a few in fact, the two I enjoyed most were also the longest the Bible and The Hiding Place.
The problem for me is I am just hyper enough that I get bored easily. That being said, if a book is not intetesting on page one, I never make it to the end of the first chapter.
Interestingly enough, as an Amazon Prime member, I recently got an email that told me I was not using one of my benefits, which just happened to be one free audiobook as a month. Well, tonight, when the full moon was keeping me awake, I decided to take advantage of my unused benefit.
I looked through the current list but did not really see anything of interest. In the search bar I typed The Art Of The Deal by Donald Trump. I had read some of the book on Kindle but had not gotten back to it. My choice of this particular book was not because it was about Donald Trump but more because it was about two things I always found of interest business and real estate.
I really thought that listening to someone read would put me to sleep, but actually, it made the book seem more real and more interesting, more like a drama than a book.
In just minutes, I had heard what took me hours to read. It was like listening to a play without the visual effects. Oh wow, I thought maybe I had found a way to take in valuable information without the boredom and at a faster pace.
While ending the first chapter was quite interesting, I can now say instead of being bored, I can now put on my headphones, click my Amazon app, and continue my audiobook.
If you have not taken the leap into audiobooks, you might want to try a sample and see if it is something you may want to add to your list of things to do.
Have a great day.
