My Experience with iPod

I was never inclined to listen books on tape / CD as I felt that it could not convey the essence of the story. But I was wrong. Anand has this habit of listening to books and he would always encourage me to listen to them. I had tried them before, but it proved futile. But things have changed now. My commute time to work these days varies from 1hr - 2hrs depending on the traffic. For the first few days I was listening to the radio( 1680 AM) or some CDs, but soon I was tired of them. The radio has the same hosts blabbering and CDs had become repetitive. I had to somehow pass time during my long drive.

Then, Anand had suggested that I try these books on CD once again, but this time try to choose the topics that interest me. At first I felt different as I wasn't reading a physical book but soon I got used to it. Once the book started playing, I didn't feel like switching it off. I started with John Grisham's King of Torts. It was a good book and well written. Then I read books of John Grisham, Stephen King, Paulo Coelho and other authors. This way I could listen to at least 1 book a week and sometimes more. Then as usual, I got lazy to go the library, and I didn't have any books to listen to, so Anand had suggested me to try iPod.

At first I didn't know how to operate iPod, but I learnt it slowly. My first book on Ipod was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Its the first book in the The Chronicles of Narnia series. Then I listened to The Golden Compass, The Fugitive Pigeon and The War of the Worlds. Listening to an iPod has more advantages. One can listen to iPod whereever one goes . You can listen to it while driving, while walking to the office, in the office :) etc. I really liked the experience and will continue to enjoy it.
