My reading has exploded since discovering audiobooks. Much better for bedtime and great for driving and exercise.

Actually, I am a fan of the audio book - I use them for driving quite a lot.

'The Man In The High Castle' as read by George Guidall totally changed my perception of the book.

And as it turns out, Martin Freeman is an atrocious narrator.

The narrator has a lot to do with your enjoyment - and I'm sucker for a good voice. Tim Curry got me hooked, with the Lemony Snicket series but there are many good readers. Sorry to hear that Martin Freeman isn't good.

Incidentally, if you ever decide to record an audio book, sign me up.

I actually know some people in the audio industry who work for a company that does audio stuff for the blind - newspapers, and whatnot.

But I have been tempted to record me speaking some of my favourite books to audio and see if there's a market for it.

You'll need more of a market than just me of course - but yeah - I'd be interested. As to what you'd read...well, I guess that's kind of important too.
