Why do you love audiobooks?
Some people say audiobooks aren’t for them, however, I love being able to listen to books when I’m traveling or block out noise when irritants surround me. I also love being able to listen to people who share their stories and write and narrate their own books.
Recently I listened to Elton John‘s first and only autobiography Me in audiobook. In part, it’s narrated by him and another person. No doubt a good balance for a busy superstar.
I know from experience it takes a lot of time to write and edit and produce an audiobook. I narrate my own books and am steadily working through my catalogue.
Currently, I’m listening to Michelle Obama’s book Becoming Michelle. I love that it’s in her own voice —it’s really lovely to hear her. It’s very soothing and inspiring for the soul
I also respect that there are very many people who cannot read.
They might be dyslexic or have never been taught or learned to read. Audiobooks makes a world of wonder., knowledge, and empowerment accessible to others. People like my picture-framer, Peter who told me recently that for the first time he was accessing Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning.
Peter is dyslexic. He is getting so much joy from listening to Frankl’s wise words of hope, happiness, and healing.
I first read this book in paperback when it was gifted to me by a fellow student on my psychology course over a decade ago. in the book Christopher wrote:
Dear Cassandra
May your search for meaning always be filled with hope, love, and beauty.
And
Thank you for reminding me, that life truly is beautiful [even in Palmerston north!]
Dear readers, it is my wish for you that your life is also filled with hope, love, and beauty. What a wonderful way to be.
