I love audio books. They allow me to relish in my notorious habit of reading multiple books at one time. Just in the car yesterday, we "read" the first eight chapters of Because of Winn Dixie and had a marvelous time doing so. Quite a literary bonding experience can happen, traveling from grocery store to retail store to the gas station with a powerful book playing.
My daughter and I are particularly struck by the book--its charming portrayal of unconditional love and an endearing hope for good. Even Joel caught on to its first person narration! He's right. Its point-of-view is important. Hearing a child tell a story cheers my soul, for the reality is laced with sweetness.
I am now looking for a reason to go for a drive!
