11. Have you tried audio books? Do you like them?
I like them well enough. As a former teacher, I find them to be a crutch. I prefer e-books for the classroom if an alternative to paper is going to be used. Honestly, audio books totally depend on the narrator. If the narrator sucks, the book sucks, no matter what.

Master and Commander: Far Side of the World; it’s a favorite movie, and I LOVE the books, all 21 of them!
