Noam Chomsky: Is the World Too Big to Fail? The Contours of Global Order

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.

I work in a cubicle from 9 - 6 for next to nothing. A nice stream of audiobooks would do well to ease the discomfort.

I love listening to audio books while cleaning house, cooking, driving, working in the yard...keeps boredom at bay.

Between my kindle and my IPod, I am always entertained. So much so, that I was inspired to write my own book, which is currently in the hands of a publisher for review.

Now, if I could just write off all the money I have spent on my reading obsession :>

There's too many distractions for me to appreciate audio books. I often have to replay the parts I missed. A comfy chair and book (or e-reader) suits me fine.

Several years ago I discovered the joy of being able to 'read' a book while doing something else...driving, working in the yard, cleaning out a closet, etc. I've been doing it long enough to evolve from books on tape to books on CD. May I suggest a site http://www.paperbackswap.com. Yes, it's a 'swapping' of books and CDs and now DVDs...it's free; you only pay shipping...media rates. Tell 'em I sent you ;)
