    Audio Books

    Found this search engine for Audio Books. My eyes often get tired reading so I may give these a whirl.

    I did find O.E. Rolvaag's Giants in the Earth, a great fictional saga of Norwegian settlers on the North Dakota Prairie. He was a professor at St. Olaf College when he wrote it I believe and it was written originally in Norwegian. Was so popular in Norway that they decided to translate it into english which was quite a task.
    Highly recommended if you have not read it.

    I have been using LIBBY audio books for a little while. It's linked to a local library. So far have been happy with it.

    On good day at the range, bunch of us were talking about a book.
    One of them goes "I've read it on audio book"
    We all looked at him funny.

    I use them when I drive, or in the deer blind. It is hard for me to focus enough to actually 'read a book, audio books are great!

    I pick them up at second hand shops, or check them out of the library for long trips. If I'm doing short trips, I don't like having the story broken up into a month long series of short clips.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    My wife loves to listen to audio books. Library has a lot if you have a CD player, or lobby if all electronic access. Amazon has a lot free if you have a prime account

    Listening to "The Coming Fury" right now. Great way to multi-task. Out walking the dog and listening to a book is right up my alley.
