About Louise's list
"As a former radio broadcaster I know that audio is intimate, warm. And being read to is almost primal. Taking us back to when we were children. Lulled to sleep by the comforting voice of mom or dad. We were not alone. Not only was our parent there, but so were all those characters, coming alive in our nascent imaginations. But as an adult, I never really gave audiobooks, or even podcasts, much thought. Until the pandemic, when I started working out. My God, it was boring. If it was possible to die of ennui, I would have. Until…I discovered audiobooks! OK, hardly a discovery since everyone I knew had been listening for years, but still, a revelation for me. I had company. I was not alone, as I ran around the house. (And I don’t mean outside, I mean in the lockdown I ran from the living room, around the kitchen table, then into the bedroom, and back, wearing a track in the carpets.). Suddenly what had been not just boring but kind of unpleasant became something I looked forward to. The next chapter. And I still listen. Which means (I hope you notice) that I still work out. As you see, I don’t listen to much fiction, but I do love learning, often obscure things, and mostly choose hefty tomes because, well, they’re a little heavy in paper form. Yes, clearly my exercising doesn’t extend to lifting. Oh dear." —Louise Penny, author of "The Grey Wolf"-
