(18,037 posts)I think they actually made their own for each other. King is a big time walker who likes to listen to audiobooks (just like I do). I am fortunate that I live in a neighborhood with mile after mile of bike trails to walk on so I don't have the same road risk as King did when he was hit.
Both my dad and mom were big time readers. My wife's dad is also a big time reader. Both my daughters were big time readers growing up until their studies interfered with it. My youngest, now that she is out of college and working, is back to reading heavily. My oldest is still establishing her married life with a husband, new house, and two dogs.
I listen to a book about every three days (about 3 hours a day while walking and rowing). I also usually read a book about once per week (around 300 pages).
