Today's world is a life in the fast lane, technologically advanced one. We want everything now, and we do not want to wait for anything. People today simply don't have the time to wait for things. Even when some relaxation time comes our way we would usually rather surf the internet or watch a good movie than say, read a book. We just don't have the time or the energy to spend on something like this. However, with today's technology and innovation, we can now read a book without ever turning a page or even picking up a novel. There are now books that are put on tape or CD that we can listen to. We can now read a book without actually reading a book!

These books on tape or, audio books, are made by someone reading the book and recording it. Audio books are a great addition to society in many ways. When they first came out there were only a select few books that were made into audio books, but now you can find almost any book that you're looking for as an audio book. You can find children's stories, young adult novels, fiction and non-fiction, self help books and many more kinds of books that have been recorded for convenient listening. These audio books come in handy in many different ways and no matter what your lifestyle is they can definitely make your life a lot easier.

Most vehicles manufactured today have built in DVD players. This is so that passengers can be entertained while inside of the car, but this form of entertainment can be very distracting to the driver. Buying a vehicle with a DVD player or even buying a DVD player for a car that you already own can get very expensive as well. Instead, consider buying a few audio books. If you don't want to spend the money, your local library should have a wide selection of audio books on hand. They come as cassettes and CDs, so you have those options as well.

Another great thing about audio books is that they allow you to multi-task. When you are reading a book or watching a movie or television show you are limited to what you can do. Usually most people cannot focus on much else but their book or the TV. While listening to a story being read to you however, you can do a wide variety of other things as well as listen intently to what is being read. A lot of people find that audio books make a great exercise companion, as they take your mind away from the fact that you are working hard. Others say they love to listen to a book while preparing dinner, driving, walking or jogging or while just relaxing in their living room. Some parents have found that audio books are a great pastime for their children. The next time you are busy, instead of placing your child in front of the television, put an audio book into the stereo.
