Audio Books Are Great To Take When you Travel

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Joshua Litt

A tricky thing about audio books as car-trip buddies can be timing-- you do not want to find yourself with hours of unplanned alone time or arrive home with the ending a long way down the road.

I learned my lesson initially with "Bossy Pants" (Hachette Sound, $ 29.98, 81/2 hours), a memoir reviewed by writer Tina Fey. With driving around and paying attention once in my location, Washington, D.C., the book did not last all the way back to Pittsburgh and I felt lost that last hour without it.

After "Bossypants" won two Sound Awards-- best audio book of 2012 and finest biography/memoir-- from the Sound Publishers Association, I chose to stay with the trend of honorees and time them to my next trip to D.C. and back, which, offer or take I-270 and Beltway traffic, is up to four hours, automobile time.

Along for the ride were two Compact Disc sets acquired online: "Fuzzy Society" by John Scalzi, told by Wil Wheaton ($ 19.95, Audible, Inc.; 41/2 hours), Audie champion in the sci-fi group, and fantasy nominee "The Witches of Lublin" by Ellen Kushner, Elizabeth Schwartz and Yale Strom ($ 17, SueMedia Productions; 1 hour), narrated by a cast featuring Tova Feldshuh, Simon Jones and a man who is a favored writer with one of my favorite voices, Neil Gaiman.

The haunting, mystical "The Witches of Lublin" was commissioned by the Michigan Event of Sacred New music in 2007 and includes music by Mr. Strom. It informs of a Jewish widow (Ms. Feldshuh) in 18th-century Poland who, with her daughters and granddaughter, escapes practice by doing popular music for non-Jews to earn money for Passover provisions. There are shades of "Fiddler on the Roof" when the granddaughter and the son of the non-Jewish overseer fall in love. Characters' faith and humanity are tested, ending in life-and-death decisions that determine generations to come.

It's incredibly psychological stuff, and I sniffed a bit when it completed at simply over an hour.
I picked "Fuzzy Country" because I had actually heard of the book it was based on, a 1962 young adult novel, "Little Fuzzy," that was a Hugo Award nominee for finest book. For "Fuzzy Society," writer Mr. Scalzi got permission to update the tale and make it more for a grownup, 21st-century audience, as he explains in the Compact Disc set's prologue. His buddy, "Star Trek: The Next Generation's" Mr. Wheaton, tells by primarily embodying the protagonist, a sarcastic Han Solo-esque scoundrel named Holloway. A disbarred attorney, Holloway has come to be an off-world prospector for a gigantic mining company. He makes two discoveries that alter the stakes: a valuable deposit of rare minerals and cat-like creatures he dubs "Fuzzies." The animals might be sapient, which by law can mean an end to the Earth corporation's digging up their planet.

Throw in a loyal canine who recognizes ways to detonate bombs, Holloway's previous love interest and her partner, evil business kinds and their henchmen, shake them up on a sometimes hostile world, and you have some idea of "Fuzzy Society." It took me a while to get absorbed not only in the story however in Mr. Wheaton's narration. I wanted to yell stop the umpteenth time he said, "Holloway stated" or "Isabel said" or "Sullivan said," even when it was noticeable who was speaking. It eradicated the conversation flow until it began to abate or I got made use of to it.

For me, Mr. Wheaton's voice is comfortingly familiar, since I've followed his job from "Stand By Me" to the Web set "The Guild" to his recurring functions on "The Large Bang Idea" and "Eureka." Every thing wrapped up just in time to tune in a Pirates game using Sirius XM the rest of the means residence.

Next up are uploads of literary fiction winner Hope Davis, reader of "State of Wonder" by Ann Patchett, and multi-award-winning audio reader Simon Vance, delivering brand-new life to "The King's Speech." These were bought for the Nook Tablet; they cost less than CDs and are less hands-on when you're alone in the auto. Now I have to see if the timing is right.
