Books- to read or listen

 

I love reading. I have always found time for a book amidst all my busy periods in life too.

Since my lasik surgery, reading hasn't been too comfortable. My cataract surgery has helped a bit though. 

Yet I do not hesitate to pick up a book. I enjoy my walk to the library once in a fortnight. The ritual of picking out books, debating which ones to bring home is sacred. The sight of the books lying around at home, gives me great pleasure. 

I have a Kindle too. But the game changer has been the Audible app. My son has extended its membership to me. he has a great collection of nonfiction. Sometimes I download books that are available on credit. I enjoy listening to dramatised versions of classic literature. 

So I read fiction and I usually listen to non fiction. I listen to fiction when I need to quieten my mind and get ready to sleep.  

The Kindle hasn't mesmerised me as yet.
