I wonder if some people (and I'm not referring to anyone here so don't hit me!) just don't read at such a deep level......
I've driven cross country numerous times and audio books have really saved my sanity. even though I am always immersed in my books, I guess I have learned to keep the partial awareness alert; mom, animal owner, soldier ingrained stuff.

the only "household chore" type stuff I have done listening to them is weeding the garden and that has worked pretty well.
