Reading books (non-academic) have always been a hobby for me. I love adventures, detectives, mystery and legal thrillers. With a good book,  I could shut out the world for days and when I emerge, its with a cocky smile on my face and a you-don’t-know-what-you-missed  attitude towards others.

Books are magical. I like what it does to my imagination. I travel to worlds and spaces I could never go to in a few days. I learn about the world and human nature both from the author and his characters. Just like movies…better than movies, books catapult you into a realm of fantasy, excitement, danger, love and possibilities.

Audible for Android

Audible is the premier digital provider of audiobooks and they are now available for Android. The app is very easy to download and use. You can download audiobooks with it and listen to them wherever you want. When you first register on the app, they give you one point free which can use to download any book of your choice.

These audiobooks are read by real people so it’s not like all those computer generated voices that sound so lifeless. It’s like a person reading to you and is able to capture most of the emotions the author intends to invoke.

Everyday, when I wake up, I always look forward to when I will plug my ears with my earphone. Apart from when reading for my exams and maybe, blogging, I do not have to leave what I’m doing to read my novel. It’s great!
