What is the general opinion of these?
I have listened to a couple recently during my commute and realised that for people with non-perfect reading skills - I tend to skip, or skim, over parts that I find boring and/or that I determin unimportant - they really are ideal.
They really help with forgien names as well.
I get them from a co-worker that passes them on to me. I have like a 45 minute ride to work and usually an hour to an hour and a quarter on the way home. They defintely help pass the time and I at least feel like I\'m being productive while I\'m driving. But... the book has to catch my interest.
