Anyone heard the Jim Dale audio book?

Hi lucy, I used to love to listen to audio books when I did a lot of cross country driving. I used to belong to a club where you paid a monthly service to down load them to some kind of mp 3 player. I have read, probably more books than 99 percent of the people on mylaugh or in the world for that matter. I have over 3000 hard backs in my personal library. In the last few years I seemed to have lost interest in reading. It got to where one third of the way through the book I seem to know what the rest of it was going to say. Maybe audio books might be the answer, I can always put them on fast forward. On the issue of getting teste, leave others alone and do it with me I love it, A lot of hostility headed my way causes my dingle berries to blossom. When the aliens abducted me, they fitted me with a hi tech anal probe that vibrates me into orgasams when some body screws with me. I actually do puckerstring back flips when I run into an advanced case of humorless tunnel vision. Have a good day and may your vent fan never fail. May the god of your choice bless you.

I don't support the use of books that are read to people. That is for the blind. The blind cannot read so it is beneficial for them. I do believe that this is a form of laziness.

No I have not read it. I perfer to watch harry potter on movies instead.

I know a lot of folks who dig audio books, but I'm not one of them. I like to curl up with a good book and read the normal way. I've tried to listen to audio books in the car before, and I always drift off into neverland and lose my place in the audio. Kudos to you for having the concentration to listen to those things from beginning to end.

Well you should get ready to jump on me as well, cause I was fixing to ask you what's the deal with having a book read to you? I encourage my children to read for themselves that way they pull their own meaning and conclusion from the book. I find it rather odd to suggest an audio book on a forum where, apparently the blind can't participate. I don’t think I am being rude nor Jimbo, by sharing our opinions, even if it’s different than yours. BTW why don’t you have a star? I have never seen anyone above a 100 without one.

I am not a Harry Potter fan but my husband is. He got the CD set and i had to listen to it, because both our computers are in the same room. (If you know how terrible my responses were, you will know why.) I cannot concentrate on writing and listening at the same time. It is the same as the others, but I do not like wizards and witches made to look all so sympathetic. I really hate when they are made to sound like ordinary folks. Look people, there are wizards and witches, sorcerers, necromancers, changlings, werewolves, demons. Harry Potter is just as bad as Voldemort. Jim Dale may be good at imitating voices, but Harry Potter is not a book or cd I would recommend. By the way, I can listen to an audio book like Louis Lamour and I can also read it, but if I do, the room had better have good enough light. I need glasses if the print is too small.

I don't understand the logic of hearing a book. Why do you want others to hear? Book is to be read.

Although im sure its not directly on topic, so therefore i may be open to abuse, but i think audio books are a great idea. They open up a whole world of reading to those of us who find the tyranny of literacy too oppresive. I find the obsession with reading that some conservatives have a little tiresome, maybe one day we will be free of its chains. I speak as one who spent her childhood in terror of the litterati, i was an undiagnosed dyslexic and went through the terrrors that only an education system obsessed with literacy can bestow. With all the above in mind, although Harry Potter is not on my list of reading material, I think audio books are a great idea blessed be

If that is the same audio book that they sell at the stores when the book was relased? If so this woman I became friends with in the waiting line for our number to get our books that night loves them.She said that the narriator had a different voice for each character.When I can afford it I think I will get one.

Lucy, I'm a bit dismayed that you had the entire first post deleted. When people disagree with me, I will fight or ignore, but I don't resort to such tactics. i actully did a discussion on that. I hate that mylot will delete a discussion based on the opinion of one and I hate that a person can stoop so low. Delete me if you want, but if you don't want folks to disagree with you, don't post.

i dont see the reason why a lot of people are responding that you shouldnt have posted a discussion about audio books, so what if all people in this forum can read? that its better to read than to listen to a storyteller? the point of such discussion is not to let us know what we will and wont do, but what me might be interested in, like trying to listen to audiobooks, it would be the same is lying in bed while your parents are reading you stories from once upon a time, aint it? now i wonder where i could get one of those audiobooks... that would be really helpful when im in a car and reading is really not a good thing to do. n_n

No thanks. I would prefer to read it. However I do appreciate the offer.

Well, I don't do audio books because for one thing I have a hearing disability and for another I can read faster. As for Miss Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, better learn some manners or you are going to have a very rough time here. No one was rude to you until you responded rudely so I would suggest you learn the definition of rude and before you answer someone like that again sit on your hands for a few minutes, but be careful not to scratch your face.
