I have burned the novell 1984. It was such garbage.

Anybody mentioned audio books? I spend about an hour each week day driving, and more on the weekends, and I find it very convenient to be able to listen to a book whilst driving. Non-fiction works seem to better than fiction, for two reasons. One, you frequently get distracted from listening while you're driving, which means a lot of rewinding if you're listening to a narrative. But with a non-fiction, it's not such a big deal if you miss a few sentences. Secondly, the quality of the voice acting matters less in non-fiction, where the narrator isn't trying to make voices for multiple characters. I'd recommend audio books to anyone who spends a lot of time driving and doesn't care to spend their free time reading.

Sure, why not just call while driving and ram an innocent person.

I listen to the radio, but that's not the same.

[edit]

You focus less on listening to a song, than listening to a story where you interpret the story and envision it. For calling you have to pay attention because you need to response.

I'm not disagreeing witht he cell phone obviously.

Most people however dont really listen to audio tapes in the car. It is usually narrated by a highly soothing voice and that is a great deal of the appeal.
