This is not about book listening but the greatest fun I have heard nowadays. I purchased a dozen to present them to friends and relatives. Makes me smile every time I take it in my hands.

Have you ever thought about the magic of magnetic phenomenon ?

I have to rectify the report of the novel of WM. Paul Young – The Shack. As this post  is about how I prepared and listened to this book  I neither comment its theme nor contrast it with Richard Dawkins – The Greatest Show on Earth

  • 250 pages total (including foreword, after words and acknowledgements)
  • 4h 40min audio play time (on normal speed) or cc. 3h 30min on high speed (I usually play on 133% speed)

In this case I wanted to compare again reading against listening so I have read the first 90 pages at night then I carried on with listening the rest. I could not find any difference in the experience apart from that reading needed my half night and I was sleepy on the next day.

Reading makes the time slow down and you relax. Listening  in wasted time makes the time speed up and you feel juiced.

As The Shack is a relatively short novel it took only a few days to listen to it between 17.Nov. and 21.Nov.  during my driving time to the office and back and sitting on the training cycle. I hate cycling inroom in winter time so I must listen to some thrilling story.

Getting close to the finale of  Rita Monaldi – Imprimatur (sorry for beeing late with its review and report) I have just captured two new books what I will listen to.

Malcolm Glodwell – Outliers: The Story of Success was 292 pages and took 12min.13sec to grap all the pages to jpg.

Robert B. Cialdini – Influence: Science and Practice (5th edition)  was 330 pages and took 10min.21sec to shoot them (2 pages at one shot of course).

My machine is working on the conversions now so I will have the mp3 files soon.
