I spent a few days trying to figure out what I wanted to buy with the two free books offered by the Audible deal posted a few days ago. The experience of getting books in the audio format was somewhat strange, I must say.

It was really kind of difficult to find something that I wanted simply because I wasn’t standing somewhere holding it in my hand. Call me old fashioned, but I do like to physically hold and open and flip through a book before buying it, as it will be my compatriot in the hours it and I will spend together. While I don’t think my difficulties with finding something is a fault of Audible at all, I do like the experience and steps one has to go through with buying traditional novels. I like going to the store and wading through isles to find that one novel that looks the best. Buying the same literature online in the fashion that Audible presents feels very sterile and uninteresting.

I did, however, find two novels that I had somewhat on my periphery: Coraline and The Graveyard Book. I’ve been on a Gaiman kick lately. We’ll see how they go. I hope to have some impressions on the show here in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
