I have listened to books on tape or CD before. Once, because the library did not have a written version available of the book I wanted. Another time, I was given a gift, and listened to it as I took a trip.
This week, I have again listened to a book on CD, since the library did not have a written version.. Because I was able to focus during the previous efforts, although, I admit, in a car, it was not that difficult, I know it was not just me, but it must have been the book, because I had a difficult time focusing on what I was hearing this time. Surprisingly, I did get through it. Partly because my back is bothering me and there was nothing on TV and it is so pretty outside, and I could take my portable CD player outside and listen to the book on disc, while lounging in my gravity chair.
I re-listened to part or all of the CDs because I did not concentrate and therefore remember what I was hearing.
As I get older, I find this is true, anyway. My mind drifts and I do not hear what the speaker was saying. I miss things. I did not used to do that.
