Jo,

Interesting point about listening & reading at the same time. I never sit down and read a book while listening to it. I just find the narration too slow as my eye wants to run ahead.

But, I often read and listen in parallel, especially when I need to really get into the book for use with my clients. Quite often, I’ll get through the audio version way before I can finish the text. I guess I have a lot more opportunities to listen than I have to sit down and read.

Thanks for the feedback on the website. Lots more to come!

Hi Aodhan
Just caught up on this post. Great idea. I love listening to the radio, music, current affair programmes so why not listen to books I want to read. I have bought audio books for my children when they were smaller but did not think to get one for myself! Like you I want to read more for my work so will look up some of the options you have given.

Your comment on the author’s interpertation, their passion & tonality must surely reinforce their words, concepts & tools. Have you tried listening & reading at same time? Using both senses to reinforce the message.

By the way, I like the look & feel of your new website.
Jo.
