| For me these days audio books make a huge difference. I have so much time that I can spend listening but not reading. Easily 3-4 hours a day between exercise, cooking, driving. I was dedicating all that time to podcasts but I worked my way through the backlists of my favorites and was hitting diminishing returns. Now I am 'reading' at quite a clip. Mostly audio, but I always have a kindle book going too.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

I can enjoy listening to an audiobook, but my retention rate is poor, and I have to go back every time I zone out. Reading while listening keeps me from zoning out, lets me know where I zoned out if I do, and improves my retention. |

| Yeah, I rarely zone out but when I do I have to back up. Usually it happens when I’m on the treadmill and catch myself looking at one of the TVs with captions on. Invariably it’s not even something I’m interested in, I just start reading it. Often things like ESPN2 and I’m totally not a sports fan.
