For the past few months, I have had an account with Audible.com. Although I'm not an auditory learner, I assumed this would help me continue consuming books for leisure, and decided to give it a shot.

After $21, 6 books, only 2 likes, and countless hours of my day spent searching for the book, I have decided to pass. I just thought they would be more entertaining. I assumed the books, especially novels, would be acted out instead of just read. I tried listening to books that couldn't keep my attention on paper, memoirs, novels, essays, you name it, but nothing worked! Hillary Rodham Clinton and Tina Fey were the only two who could hold my attention, and HRC's book was over 20 hours long! Proving either I'm a glutton for punishment, or I really enjoy books on foreign policy. I like to think I'm somewhere in between.

Sorry Audible, I tried. And failed. Hard.

Then again, my mind changes like the wind, so perhaps I will find the book, or the book will find me...until then, I will continue to let my podcasts, Pandora, and Netflix get me through my workday.
