But I've considered the audiobook thing. Sometimes I forget to get the latest podcasts but if I just had the CDs in my car that would be easy. I'll check out the Pleasanton and Livermore stuff. Having the stuff mailed to me sound pretty good.Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965209456771434418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843262.post-33807406256233787662008-09-29T08:57:00.000-07:002008-09-29T08:57:00.000-07:00The Pleasanton library will mail them to you, netf...The Pleasanton library will mail them to you, netflix style, and most of them have audio books in mp3 format that you can download. Through the link+ system you can even check out books from other libraries in other states. You only have to be a resident of California to get a library card at any of the local libraries, and if you're visiting you can get a card that's valid for three months. <BR/><BR/>I encourage you to check out Pleasanton or Livermore. Their websites are much easier to use than Fremont, even though the underlying core is the same between all of them. <BR/><BR/>Audio books are a great way to spend your commute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843262.post-41709744050983478082008-09-27T11:26:00.000-07:002008-09-27T11:26:00.000-07:00I've been in love with Libraries since I was in El...I've been in love with Libraries since I was in Elementry School. Libraries. Book Stores. Yard Sales with Books. I love books. But Libraries are the best. I'm glad you discovered the not-so-hidden secret. Happy Book Reading!!!<BR/><BR/>P.S. Thanks to you, I think I recommend Ender's Game to just about everyone I meet that likes to read :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843262.post-39382837953395695432008-09-26T14:11:00.000-07:002008-09-26T14:11:00.000-07:00Now that I think about it, Matt, I think I remembe...Now that I think about it, Matt, I think I remember you singing the praises of the library years ago.Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965209456771434418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843262.post-80718746513753504532008-09-26T12:01:00.000-07:002008-09-26T12:01:00.000-07:00Yeah this has been true for a decade.
