Thing 22: Audiobooks

Since we frequently have had to set up accounts on netlibrary for patrons, setting up my own account has been one of the easiest parts of completing the 23 things. I prefer to read rather than listen to audiobooks, but if I had a long commute, I might listen to audiobooks more often. I was glad to see many of the yearly compilations of New Stories From the South available as audiobooks, but the two I listened to samples from had a narrator with a generic Midwestern accent that took something away from hearing the short stories in the collection read by someone with a Southern accent. As our audiobook patrons frequently tell us, the narrator plays a very big role in whether the audiobook is enjoyable or not.
