There’s Something about Audio

The world is full of words, but how many do we miss because they need to be heard? There is something about audio.

I have books. Lots of them. Books have filled my life for a long time.

From an early age, I had an insatiable appetite for reading. The earliest books I remember were about Biggles, a World War One wartime pilot.

Then transitioning on to large classic doorstops such as ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ or ‘Les Misérables’.

Great books. Classic Books. Books that have shaped the world.

If you want to fully get swept along in the story, forget popcorn movie versions. Read them, or deep dive into the audio version for richness of language.

There is something about audio.

Good audio read by orators that have trained their voice to linger long on some words and rush over others can take the brain into the very scene with an imaginative magic.

Oh yes, and then there is music!

Can music be read? Yes, you can read music, but it was always meant to be heard and absorbed into the soul like a sound wave washing on a shore.
