Audiobook finished

Field of Dishonor by David Weber
Very emotional story. Really can't say anything about it without giving spoilers. Clearly this story is pivotal in the series, with many MAJOR changes happening.

Love the series. But do the more traditional format.

If I stick to reading, I have traditionally gotten about 5 books a year read; I only have about 20 minutes before bed to read most days and I'm not a fast reader (working on it though). Audiobooks get me through an extra 50 or 60 books a year since I can listen to them 3 hours a day or more.

I am actually reading alongside too, and making a special effort lately so that I'm finishing as much as a book a week, which is slow for some but keep in mind that I think I went through a 2 year period recently without reading a single book. I'm working on reading more, it's one of the reasons I bought the eBook reader.

I actually find my retention is better on audiobooks. It's been about 3 years since I started listening to them, and I can still remember the characters and pretty much all of the action from the first one, which was Card's Xenocide. I'd previously read about 3 or 4 books in the Ender series, and I don't remember nearly as much of them.
