But my neighbor went to the library and got me a few audio books and my husband played them in the bedroom when I was awake. It was a great way to get my mind off the pain I was in. <br /><br />me8acat@yahoo.comMary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-13482671608993153112010-01-05T16:03:42.457-08:002010-01-05T16:03:42.457-08:00I have only had one audio book and I did enjoy it....I have only had one audio book and I did enjoy it.

You really get a feel for the characters when somebody reads them to you. <br /><br />I like to sit outside or even at the beach with a good book in my hands and read. Something about reading just soothes the soul and immediately calms me down. I am an avid reader! <br /><br />Both listening and reading to books is music to my soul!
