Driveway Moments and Talking to my Disc Player


I love listening to recorded books. I often listen in my car and the stories sweep me away. Too often I arrive at my destination and don't remember the drive there because I'm so wrapped up in listening to a great story. It reminds me of my childhood and my love of being read to.

Currently I'm listening to what I'd typically characterize as a "page turner" - although I don't think I can call it that when I'm listening. C.J. Box's new book, Endangered, is set in Wyoming and centers on a crime committed against Joe Pickett's adopted daughter, April. I'm finding myself talking back to my car's disc player ("JOE - That's a clue. Pay attention!") or sitting in my driveway not wanting to turn the car off without knowing what happens next. The narrator of the story, David Chandler, is perfect and his performance enhances the story.

As you plan your summer road trip vacations, remember to include a trip in to the Library to find a great book for your family to listen to. Library staff are happy to recommend good stories for road trips. And if you see me sitting in my driveway or talking to my car's disc player, just smile and wave ... and remember to ask me which book I was listening to.
