I love to listen to audio books online when I am doing my busy work at home or in the office. You see, my life has a lot of routine to it, a good bit more than most. At work I am engaged as a secretary while at home, between taxes, finances, some freelance writing, and various other activities, I am almost as much of a paper-pusher than in my professional life. That is why I really need something to listen to when I am working, something that will provide a pleasant background, but will not really distract me from what I am doing. I think that listening to audio books online has so far been the best solution that I could find, and I am quite pleased.

You can really find online audio books in almost as great a variety as you can normal audio books in a store, and with the online variety, you do not have to go anywhere to get them. I have been using a great service that only charges about 10 dollars a month, and gives me all the audio books online that I can handle. It is practically unlimited in terms of downloads allowed, which just suits me to a t. I like a wide variety of audio books online, although not as wide as my normal reading selections. If I am cleaning, or doing something else that is not very mentally taxing, I like to listen to one of the classics, especially if it is Russian. One afternoon, I sorted out my whole house listening to a download of Crime and Punishment from audio books online. If I am working at something a little harder, I will get online mystery books. If it is something that requires almost complete attention, I might get thrillers. Whatever the occasion, there are audio books online that will provide me with the right level of background for whatever I happen to be doing.

Of course I love to be read to, as it brings back memories of childhood. When my day is done, and I am ready to go to sleep, I still will sometimes put on an online audio book to help lull me off to dream land. For example, I might listen to a fairy tale, or something sort of fantastic and otherworldly, which will create just the right atmosphere for me to fall asleep by.
