Thing #22: NetLibrary: I'm in Love

I am an audiobook junkie. When I became a mother I despaired of ever reading a book again, but then I discovered that I could "read" a book by listening to it. Since making that amazing discovery, I have listened to audiobooks while driving, doing dishes, folding laundry, cleaning the toilet, watering the plants... you get the idea. I try to "turn off" the book anytime a member of my family walks into the room, and most of the time I resist the temptation to drive around the block over and over when I come home just at "the good part" of the novel I'm listening to in the car, but it's tough! To make matters worse, Carol has just explained (in Thing #22) that I can feed my addiction without even leaving the comfort of my own home! When I browsed by the subject "Science and Nature", I pulled up a great selection of titles with which to improve my mind, such as:

Black Hole War: My Battle With Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics by Leonard Susskind.

Why bother resisting? Naturally, I checked it out!
