He does different accents, impressions, and languages sometimes on the Daily Show, and he does a LOT of that in the audiobook. <br /><br />Nonfiction is enjoyable but often takes me longer to finish. The only one I've ever zipped through like a novel was "The Year of Living Biblically" by A.J. Jacobs. Having it on audiobook definitely helped my reading pace!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-54377762574940269072017-03-03T23:20:17.109-06:002017-03-03T23:20:17.109-06:00I find listening to audiobooks can help me kicksta...I find listening to audiobooks can help me kickstart my reading habits if I'm in a slump.

Letters aren't quite like a diary, but it seems like a fascinating format to read...are there other things in the book, or is it just the letters?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-31077537212021235382017-02-27T14:29:30.794-06:002017-02-27T14:29:30.794-06:00I'm not a hug fan of non-fiction, but I've...I'm not a hug fan of non-fiction, but I've enjoyed watching the Daily Show. I bet Trevor Noah does a great audiobook. :) Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-47119151705201568392017-02-18T15:09:17.809-06:002017-02-18T15:09:17.809-06:00Cool!

All of these books sound good - I'm especially interested in the tea one. ;) I've also wanted to read Malala's book for years but never got around to it. I haven't been reading any nonfiction lately, but I've also not been reading much of anything lately, so...

I dreamed once that I was stuck along the side of the road, and she helped me. (Which sort of sounds like something she would really do, now that I think of it.)<br /> <br />And I didn't know about the tea book, but I think I'll have to check it out as well...given that I am a tea person. I'm making some soon, in fact. Irish breakfast.<br /><br />As for me, I am currently reading "Dear Theo," an autobiography of sorts of Vincent Van Gough, by way of his many letters to his brother Theo.Ty Unglebowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836504600859993438noreply@blogger.com
