I’m experimenting with books on CD, now that I have a longer commute. With Asher’s “help” I picked out Clive Cussler’s Deep Six at the library and am about halfway through it.
It’s crap! But, it’s kinda fun, too. Pretty much everybody you meet in the each of the first three chapters dies at the end of each of the chapters. So far, a secret nerve agent has seeped into the Alaskan oceans, the President, Vice-President, Secretary of State and two Senators have been kidnapped by an Asian smuggling empire and passed off to the Russians for a “Mind Intervention” experiment, and our hero Dirk Pitt has flirted with about half a dozen women (most of which are now dead — there’s a high body count).
Anyway, I think I may need to fine tune my selection process, but it passes the time.
I’ve been enjoying books on CD a great deal, though they generally turn
into MP3’s/AAC’s and go on to the iPod before I listen to them. (You
can drop them to about 24kps and still have them be eminently
listenable.) The San Marcos library’s got a pretty good selection now.

y, i expect to go to that. i’m afraid my iPod’s not getting much use
these days…i just don’t like to wear headphones, and I haven’t wired
an Auxiliary jack in the car yet…i really need to do that.
