Task 14:

Don't have time to download right now, but after having looked at the two, I will probably go with Overdrive. It looks like the more preferable method for my tastes, and I've already looked up Phantoms by another of my favorite authors, Dean Koontz. Once I get time to try out the download, I will finish this....

ok, a few days later I have managed to get time to do the download. As I expected, the download took plenty of time - managed to finish the book I was reading while waiting for the download. I ended up downloading Watchers in order not to have to wait for a hold to come in. I have read it several times, as it's one of my favorite of Koontz's novels. What I didn't expect was for the narration to completely kill the writing! Perhaps it was simply the particular person doing this reading, or maybe my internal "voice" is overly augmented by my imagination - either way, I will not complete listening to this download, and am unlikely to do another. I enjoy reading far too much to have stories killed for me in this manner. I can see how useful audio books are for some situations, but in my case I will simply wait until I can literally pick the book up and digest it m'self! Watchers awaits me on my shelves at home when I wish to lay mine hands upon it and wring entertainment from it! ;P
