Dr. Laura Audio Books

2008-06-07T00:42:00.007-04:00

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the controvercial, tell it like it is, radio host who is perhaps loved by as many who hate her.

I have to respect a person who has no fear of how others judge her for her opinions. We live in a free country and I think it is great that people can speak their minds. I find it sad when people want to censor people like Dr. Laura.

Dr. Laura has several audio books that are available for download so that you can listen to what she has to say while you are on the go, or just relaxing around the house this summer.

What I like about audiobooks.

2007-01-08T01:11:00.000-05:00

These days time is very valuable. Between juggling jobs, family, and continueing an eductation, I have very little time to read.

That is why audiobooks are such a perfect fit for me. I can utilize my down time to listen to an audiobook. I have added about 2 hours of time by listening to audiobooks when I would otherwise be doing nothing.

I listen to audiobooks both on compact discs, and I also load them onto my iPod for when not in the car.

My favorite time to listen to audiobooks is in the car. I much prefer listening to brain food, then listening to deejays babble on and on while they play the same music over and over.

I will make future posts reviewing different audiobook stores and services out there.
