...an audiobook?

Or do you find it lazy and just prefer to read yourself? :P

As an aside if you did have an audiobook, who would be your ideal voice to read it to you? (this can be anyone)

No, I read my books the good 'ol fashioned way. But I'd buy one if Morgan Freeman narrated. That would be amazing.

My stepdad drives a lot, so he used to have a bunch of them. I wouldn't mind 'em if I saw any real use for them.

I don't know of any good ones, and I prefer to read the classics anyway and usually audiobooks are for popular contemporary fiction.

I would buy one if Ian McKellen was narrating.

I doubt discerning his heavy English accent will be easy but oh well. :P

I've listened to a couple, but I prefer physical books. I think James Woods and Ian McKellen should read more audiobooks. Or Brian Blessed if its a comedy.

Yes, I have. But I prefer only to do so if I am at the time unable to actually read the book, like if I'm on a walk. And Theokhoth, let's see you try to drive and read at the same time. :P

Yes..if it's good it's very enjoyable. It's more passive. What do you guys have against audiobooks? :?
