I also live in the city and don't commute by a car but I listen on my walk to the subway or I sometimes get off a little early and get a walk in and some time to listen to audio. Like others mention, I sometimes listen while doing my "chores" including dinner prep, baking and laundry.

I'm no help since the only time I listen to audio books is when I'm driving. Oh...and occasionally when I'm out walking.

I listen in the car on trips, but also when I take the dog out and do chores around the house.

Have made several audio friends by: pulling weeds in the garden and walking the dog around the 'hood

My iPod is always with me so I listen to it around the house, while I'm cooking and cleaning,doing outdoor activities, pretty much all the time. Of course, I scramble to pause it when someone talks to me!

Natalie - I'll have to check that book out!

Kailana - I feel you!

Gigi - it's ok. I too like to be alone with my audios!

Mrs Q - they are definitely not for everyone!

I've tried to listen to audiobooks but they never work out for me. I blame my work, and my ability to tune out my surroundings. I tend to stop listening to the audiobook and concentrate on something else. I'm jealous of those who can listen to audiobooks, but it doesn't work for me.

Great question. I enjoyed reading all the suggestions. Here's my story: Before I retired I traveled on my job a lot. Audiobooks were a great treat then. I missed that after retiring. I've gone back to using audiobooks as a treat. They are on my iPod and I take it with me when I take a walk or work around outside. I also love to sit and knit and listen to books.

I just finished listening to the middle grade book The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and I LOVED IT. Highly recommend it. Errands have never been more fun.

I think I need to start listening to more audiobooks instead of watching TV! I am going to make that a bigger goal!

I listen to them on my MP3 player while I'm doing chores around the house or walking the dog. I actually look forward to doing that stuff when it's a good book.

I have 20+ audio books, and I always enjoy listening to them. But I have a problem trying to figure out when to listen to them. I like being alone with no interruptions.I I did listen to one or two in Nov. while crocheting. Some evenings when I don't feel like reading, watching TV etc. I stick a book in and listen to it. I'm afraid I am not any help at all. ; )

Most of my listening is done at work. Sounds like that doesn't work for you any longer. Next would be if you do any walking. Finally I listen while I'm cleaning house IF I can't put on some good cleaning music super loud (little monkey is sleeping). I also found that it was nice to listen while working on crafty projects, but that doesn't happen very often.

I don't really commute. Mainly I listen to audiobooks while I'm doing mindless chores like folding laundry.

Blodeuedd - Haha! Totally understand.

Alyce - Good tip. That worked for me and the man for Bossypants since it was one we could enjoy together!

Suey - music usually wins out for me too but I am trying to work on that!

I still haven't figured this whole audio book thing out to begin with. Music wins over where audio books would fit in!

I put them on my mp3 player and listen while I clean house. I haven't listened to much of anything other than the Harry Potter books for months though. Almost every other audio I've tried lately has had a narrator that has grated on my nerves. Hopefully I'll find some more soon that I enjoy listening to. Good luck to you with your search for audio time!

Never :/ Since I do not have a long commute or anything. And well it never works out
