So where do you listen to your books?
I am a chronic insomniac, have been since i was a teen. So I listen to fall asleep. I don't mean the boring books, the more interesting the faster I can fall asleep! I also listen while I do my work around the house.
How about you?
Where do you Librivox?

It's perfect in the car for the trip to the office. It's wonderful for getting through the house cleaning though the vacuum is a bit loud.
and definitely in bed! I, too, have insomnia (hence posting at 5:30am) so it helps me turn my brain off from all the daily cares and eventually shut down for a good night's sleep. OH and they are not the boring books either. I have a few voices (calm and relaxed voices) that I choose to go to sleep with. I may have to listen to the chapter over again in the morning though....

I listen while exercising and while doing housework on the weekends. Dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, etc, doesn't seem as bad when my mind is engaged.

I like to listen before I go to sleep. If I don't listen to something, my mind keeps ticking away about things to get done, a conversation with someone, a problem that need attention or something. It's not always easy finding where I left off when I drifted to sleep though.

I couldn't bear to listen in bed, I'd hate to miss any part of the story.Hazel Pethig wrote:So where do you listen to your books?

I listen while cooking. And when I run out of other podcasts, which does sometimes happen, although not often.

Wow! I just had the strangest memory, a revelation if you will. I was on my way to watch my brothers football game, and I was listening to a LV recording of Anne of Green Gables. My attitude toward these recording has changed dramatically since I signed up for the forums. I remember thinking when listening to other things on LV "Oh they didnt say it the way I think they should" or "How boring" or "That person should not be recording" or "Why is it taking so long for them to finish this!" But you know, now that I have seen the work that is put into all this, I dont just hear
"This is a Librivox recording, all Librivox recording are in the public domain, for more information, or to volunteer, please visit Librivox . org."
I hear.
"This is what I think, come, enjoy this book the way I do. Don't think of the me the reader, think of the words."
Everyone interprets the book differently. Everyone has there own way of saying things. Everyone has there own things to do. Nobody can do everything perfect. These are the things I found out by comming here. I have learned that , We are all the same, in a way that, we love to read. we love the books of old that carry an inocence. We love what we find through these classics. And we love to bring this special happiness to other people, who, wouldnt otherwise bother. I hope this post wasnt too dull, but this is what I have truelly come to find. Hope I didnt bore ya'll to tears.

I don't listen all that much, actually. Usually on long road trips. I have been trying to listen some while working in the kitchen, but I usually have the AM news radio station on at that time.

I LV mostly at work. I do a lot of data entry and research online so I need stimulation to keep me awake when it gets monotonous. I generally mix LV short stories into an Mp3 CDR alongside old-time radio shows. The one book I've listened to is the production of F Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, which gave me a couple of weeks'-worth of listening pleasure; I also included a selection of Jazz Age 78 rpm recordings -- Norah Baye, Josephine Baker, Bix Beiderbeck, et al -- on the disk. Way cool
