How I now “read” my favorite novel in 3 hours instead of 3 months
Old habits die hard, they say. How right they are.
I am a novel freak and have been since the 4th grade when I read an amazing novel that started me down the road of reading.
I continued this craze for reading right into college and even early in my career. Nothing stopped this craze, not even when I got married and had my first child.
But as you would expect, as I climb higher in my career and the kids increase from 1 to 3, I am beginning to have less time to spend doing what I loved so much--reading novels.
I am completely die hard with everything I am doing, I carried on reading novels, unfortunately it was taking three months
to get through only one book, not the three hours I used to spend reading when I had more free time.
I'd go through maybe one chapter now and then put it away. Read another chapter in 2 weeks time when I had free time on my hands.And then maybe read another chapter or two a few weeks later. And so on, until I would finish just one novel.
I didn't like this and I wanted a way of still getting the value of a full novel in three hours like it used to take me, not the three months it now takes me to complete just one novel.
I was trying to think of a way out.
Thankfully, there was a way out…
In audio books!
All I need to do is buy the novel I want, not as a book but in audio book format. It contains all the same content as the novel but in spoken word!
Now I don't have the limitations I used to have with "reading" my favorite novels.
In the morning while doing my chores of exercising, making breakfast, dressing up for work, etc, I listen to my novel in audio book format. While commuting to work, I continue from where I stopped. During break at work, I also listen. And before driving back home from work, I complete the remaining part of the novel.
Total time spent--about 3 hours for each novel.
Phew… how I love how much time audio books save me through each day and I am still getting all the same value!
If you haven't tried the amazingly wonderful advantages of audio books yet, don't hesitate.
It's not just novels, you can get pretty much any type of book you can imaging in audio book format. You can now find business audio books, professional audio books, motivational audio books, etc.
Go on the internet and find the book you've never had the time to read but always wanted to do so. Now, you can… using audio books!
Simply use any of the major search engines like Google to search for phrases such as "the title of the book + audio book". You will be presented with results of sites where you can get the title in audio book format.
Yes, it's now far easier to find the audio book format of that favorite book of yours than you imagined!
