OT: Anyone ever try audiobooks?

[WarDekar]

In my never-ending quest to be as productive as humanly possible, I thought of this: Listening to audiobooks while I multitable. Currently I'm usually listening to music, watching TV or a movie, and browse/chat. What if instead I listened to audiobooks, I could get so much more accomplished as I never really read anymore. Anyone ever tried this? Is it hard to concentrate on both?

I tend to tune out TV for a few minutes here and there when I get busy at the tables. I think it would be even worse listening to a book.

I do it from time to time. Audible.com is a pretty solid resource (including a nice sign on bonus IIRC - definitely +EV)

not a bad idea actually. i think im going to try to learn a new language anyways, so maybe this could work for me.

it would be funny if i start typing things like:

vous êtes stupide, poissons

usted es estúpido, pescados

siete stupido, pesci (wow, so joe pesci is really joe fish???lolol)

Sie sind, Fische dumm

u bent stom, vissen

"Sie sind, Fische dumm"

funny that you use the formal (respectful) case [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, it's not really plausible to play more than 10 with my setup... I guess I could though, I'll think about it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
