Reading is Still for Chumps

I was chatting with an old friend last night. By old friend I mean she knew me before the mohawk. That is a small list of friends. I mentioned my completing NaNoWriMo for a second year in a row. After explaining NaNoWriMo and her recognizing it from listening to NPR, she asked how I did last year.

Me: That's the book I sent you that you never read.
Raggedy Anne: Reading makes my eyes hurt. I'm really into audio books. Maybe you could record yourself reading it.

It's embarassing. Really, I'm very embarassed to have a friend who would rather listen to a book than read it. Especially one who will spend all night IMing with friends inside a game context.

On the other hand, is there an untapped market here? How many women on the go would love to listen to a good smutty book while commuting? iPorn.
