Well, actually, I wouldn't call it a new obsession, more like another way to get my fix with a pre-existing obsession. I have discovered the world of audio books! My boss let me borrow her copy of "The Litigators" by John Grisham (not my usually choice of literary poison but I highly doubt my boss reads smut books and if she does, would lend me an audio copy of one) and I am so excited that I can now "read" books that I want to read but always lose out when the choice cums between delicious smut and something non-smutty.
I don't have a long commute, but it is still enough to listen to about a chapter or so on my way to and from work. Also, I am now actually looking forward to my Wednesday morning drives to a client's that is about 30-45 minutes one way. A whole new world has opened up to me and it is fan-fucking-tastic! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
As a side note on the subject of audio books, I got to thinking last night about this whole niche. Since I'm still very virginish to the whole thing I started to wonder how other books are read, especially smut books. Is there always only one reader or do some have multiple readers (say and male and a female)? If they do sell audio smut books, how into character do the readers get? Do they moan and gasp during the heated scenes, making it like listening to a porn movie? These are very serious questions people and as my mind was bouncing them around something accured to me. Audio books are kind of like those antiquical (is that a word? If it isn't it is now, I just made it up.) radio shows. How fasinating that with all the technology, with Kindles and Nooks, TV's and Talkies, the best way to experience a story is to either read it yourself or listen to someone speak and form the layout of the scenes yourself.
Yep, the mind is a wonderfully inventive, twisted muscle. Of course then I realized I was thinking too damn much and went to bed.
