I understand that this feeling may well be unique to me.<br /><br />The part of it that I can't get away from, though, is my difficulty sometimes in the read-aloud style of being able to tell which character is speaking. That really bugs me. It's easy when reading, since you can see the by play and backup if you have to, but backing up an audiobook is tougher.JB Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696773681313563635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411894864312049426.post-4261073063869710462013-03-02T19:42:00.736-08:002013-03-02T19:42:00.736-08:00That's great to hear.

With each book I wait until I find the exact narrator I'm looking for.<br /><br />Well, except with Armed and Dangerous which I'm going to allow readers to vote on.

It's a different approach, different art almost. <br /><br />I wonder which approach readers will end up enjoying more? I'm guessing the acting.

I've listened to audiobooks for many years, first at a job where I could listen as I worked and now while I'm at the gym. I have to say the quality has improved greatly through the years. The benefit to those that are blind or are unable to read is a godsend. Thank you both for what you give us with your wonderful talentsDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252745657695052077noreply@blogger.com
