But I work far away from down town. It takes me a half hour to get to work. Most people say huh? A half hour that is so long. But it doesn't bother me. For one thing since everyone is trying to drive INTO the city and I am driving OUT the commute is pretty stress free. It takes me 30 minutes from my driveway to my school's driveway. But I make good use of the time. This year I discovered Audio Books. Now I've done allot of long drives across the whole western US and from Montana to Mexico a few times. I know the advantages of books on tape helping you to stay awake from Payson to Cedar City or Cheyenne to Cody. But I have never been in the habit of books as I do my daily commute.
I'm totally sold now. Here is a list of all the books I read and my rating. Some were better than others. But overall I'm totally sold on the idea. I LOVE Audio Books!\
| A Tree Grows in Brooklyn***** A Thousand Splendid Suns***** |
| Captains Courageous*** |
| Eat, Pray, Love** |
| Enchanted April**** |
| Shopaholic & Baby** |
| The Bean Trees** |
| The candy shop wars** |
| The Constant Princess*** |
| The Maiden Bride* |
| The Other Queen** The Secret Life of Bees**** |
| The Time Travelers Wife***** |
| This side of Paradise*** |
I was mostly at the mercy of what the library had on its shelf. If you have any recommendations for Audio books (on CD) let me know. I no longer have to commute and hour a day but I'm still going to listen.

I've never been a fan of audio books because I can read so much faster than they can talk.
I love audio books, but it definetly depends on who is reading them! Thanks for your suggestion list, I noticed we have similar tastes, so I will have to try out some of your highly rated ones :)
I seem to only like them if I've read the book before, strange.
