Romance on the Rocks

Where Happily Ever After is always on Tap!

To Read or Not to Read

April 11, 2019 by MK Meredith

Shakespeare is known for asking, “To be or not to be…that is the question.”

Well, answering that question would take an infinitely long time to answer. Time this blog post can’t accommodate, so I propose this…

To Read or Not to Read…as in…what’s YOUR poison?

A book/ereader in hand or audible?

For me it isn’t the how, but rather…the story!

And it isn’t which I prefer, but rather…what will my schedule allow?

To sit and read a book (in any form) requires an amount of time where I can attend to the act of reading, but sometimes I can’t find it in my day…outside of a few minutes in the bathroom. LOL! And yes, I have books in there!

And that lack of time is where audible comes in for me. I can learn a lot, get lost in a story, or dive deep in a spiritual learning with audible when I’m driving or jogging. This has opened up a whole knew line item of time for me that I didn’t realize I had.

And it’s amazing.

My husband, for example, reads continuously for work. So the last thing he wants to do is come home and read some more. So he listens to things his mind and heart and body craves during his commute to and from work. Audible for him has been an incredible enhancement to his life.

So, I don’t think it’s to read or not…but what kind of story delivery does your life have the time for!!

    Absolutely! When there’s time, there’s nothing like a comfy chair and a good old-fashioned book. When I’m bopping around and have a few minutes here or there, my Kindle, and the synched app on my phone let me keep going with a story. And the rest of the time, it’s all audio – which gives busy people a chance to finally absorb good books!!

    I have a thought for a rephrasing. “To read with your eyes or to read with your ears; how’s that for the question?!”
    As you say it’s really all about the story. However it’s delivered to your brain, it’s reading. 😉

    I move around so much that I usually have a print, audio, and ebook going at the same time, depending on my location in the house or car. 😉 I don’t have audible yet, but plan to sign up soon. I’ve been using the library to get my audio book fix. <3

    I agree. I mostly read on my Kindle but alway have my iPhone so if I’m waiting somewhere I can pickup where I left off on my Kindle. If I’m working at my desk, driving to and from work or need to get things done around the house, then I will listen to audio books. Some books if they are in pdf or ePub format I can open them in Voice Dream app on my iPhone or iPad and it will read the book to me. It’s not perfect but it works great for me. So, I’m never without a book to read or listen to.
