Books on the Ipod

I really love my Ipod.  Especially since I started downloading books on it.  I listen to books much more than I do music.  Right now, I am listening to an old favorite "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith.  I am pretty sure this is the first book I checked out of the "adult" section at the Bothell Library (as soon as Mrs. Corner decided I was old enough to read 'adult' books).  I loved it so much, even though I didn't understand some of the events in the book (I'm thinking of the scene where Francie and Neely played with the box of rubbers from Aunt Sissy's purse.  I had NO IDEA what those were). 

The book is still a great read, I'm really enjoying it.  Maybe I will download some Nancy Drew next...

I didn't even know you could do books on an ipod. Wow, I am so with the times! I have yet to listen to a book on CD or tape or whatever. Do they have multiple voices?

no the books are read by one person (sometimes the author, sometimes an actor). But some of them do 'voices' lol.

I had Neely on my list of boys name. One of my fav books of all time!
