Enjoying Commute Time

I love my 40+ minutes commute. Why? Because I am able to listen to great audio books. Mostly for free!

That’s just great.

Mostly free, how? Check out your local library. If they don’t have downloadable books, then I’m sure you can rent books on tape or CD. As I wrote before, Free Audio Books for Northern NJ Residents, in Bergen County, NJ, I can go to NetLibrary and pick from over 1000 audio books. Then there is LearnOutLoud.com, which has a lot of books for free (sign up for their newsletter to get updates on new titles).

You can also try Audible’s 3 free books (they have the largest collection), but you need a compatible MP3 player.

Before I listen to any book, I do some research. There are so many books out there that I need to filter them out and read the best. I usually check each book’s ranking on Amazon.com and read books that have a 4.5 stars or higher. This allows me to read the best books.

I also love autobiographies. Especially of the founding fathers. Wow, this is excellent stuff. I’m currently listening to Alexander Hamilton’s. I’m not only learning about him, I’m also learning about how America was founded. It’s a 30+ hour book, but I’m almost over (over a month into it already :-) ). Great book and a great mind.
