AUDIOBOOKS − BOOKS ON CASSETTE
In the modern world, there are a lot of leisure activities to choose from. Entertainment industries compete for
your leisure time. You can watch TV, listen to music, go to an art gallery or concert or, of course, read a book.
Sometimes it seems that reading is neglected because, even if you're a fast reader, it can take a considerable
amount of time to finish a novel, for example. But in the modern world, time is something that can be in short
supply.
Book publishers haven't been slow to realise this and are now selling a product which needn't take up as
much of your time but still tells you an excellent story. The new product is the audiobook − cassette recordings
of shortened novels, often read by well-known personalities or the authors themselves. Audiobooks are
relatively new but people are becoming more aware of them and sales are increasing all the time.
One of the attractions of audiobooks is that they're like listening to the radio, only better. You can listen to
what you want when you want, and you won't ever miss anything. Much of their appeal lies in their flexibility.
They allow you to do other things while you're listening, such as driving or doing the housework. For some
people, audiobooks can be a much more enjoyable way of gaining knowledge than reading.
