One of my personal life hacks for staying well-read on a limited budget of time has been listening to audio books. For a long time, I commuted three hours a day. While I can’t read and drive at the same time, I can listen and drive. Audio books turned the commute into nourishment for my mind.
Now my commute is only five minutes, but I still have limited time available for reading. Of course I still read, but it’s usually limited to late evenings or weekends. Audio books provide a way for me to digest books that I might otherwise not have time to read. Now I listen on my iPod while I’m running.
The one gripe I have about most audio books is the cost. Often they are more expensive than the carbon-based counterpart. So I have a subscription at Audible which lets me download a new book or two every month.
Which brings me to my point. Audible is offering a free, 30-day trilal of their Gold member subscription to “friends and family.” Since you’re reading this, I consider you a friend. If this interests you, check it out at http://www.audible.com/invite. And for every trial that starts within the next 30 days, Audible is donating $10 to the Newark Literacy Campaign.
I get nothing out of this, but I like their service and wanted to share the offer.
