Ron McLarty is another excellent reader. He also wrote his own book, " The

Memory of Running. " I listen to it while I run (no pun intended) and it is

EXCELLENT. I first heard of it when I read an article by King

called " The best book you'll never read. " I downloaded it from

www.audible.com. I've been a member there for YEARS! If anyone happens to

decide that it's cool and wants to join it would be really neat if you used

my email as the referrer (unless someone else has done that, of course). I

usually have six or seven books on my iPod. That way no matter what mood

I'm in, I've got something to " read. " I actually started audio books

because I was dinging I had very little time to sit down and get into a

good book. Now that I have a bit more time, I still listen to audiobooks.

At Audible I can download 2 per month for $20.

Yup Crystal! Just make it a part of your daily routine, just like brushing

your teeth, taking a shower, and other daily routines we do for our health.

Fake it for now and after awhile you find you're no longer faking it!
