Item — HN Reader

I'm not into podcasts but I am VERY into audiobooks via audible. I listen to them while commuting, while doing chores around the house and while walking the dog. I used to read voraciously and never had time any more. I alternate fiction and non fiction. Some recommendations: 14 by Peter Cline, the Power of the Dog by Don Winslow, and The Like Switch by an ex-FBI agent about likability.

Changed my life immensely for the better. I read about 5 books a month now.
