Audio books are sliced bread!

Here's a list of the books that I have downloaded/listened to in the past year. The date next to each is the download date not pub date. The time at the end of each line is the length in hours and minutes of each part (most of the books are broken into multiple parts for easier downloads). Audible.com is a great place to get audio books. The downside is that you are limited to supported devices but the value is worth it. I will at some point give my take on each of these--as well as finish listening to some.

Just looking at the list, I am amazed at how much I have listened. Before audible.com, I was lucky to read/listen to 5 or 6 books a year and 1 or less was actually a read.
