I mostly listen while doing yard and house work, so that may have had something to do with how much I liked it. Anything to make those jobs less boring.
I haven't read the books and don't know if I would like them as much, but the audio, while doing yard/house work was fun.
I haven't started anything new and still deciding what to listen to while driving back and forth to work. I've been listening to music, while driving, for a change.
