I have not listened to my car radio in almost 2 years! I love controlling what I listen to. And, sometimes I like taking advantage of just having quiet time.

I currently spend over an hour per day in the car. I redeem that time with books on CD. My <a href="http://www.libraryweb.org/" rel="nofollow">county library system</a> allows me to have any item sent to my nearest library for 50¢. I first read David Allen's <em>Getting Things Done</em> this way. I like to switch between classics and educational books. My most recent selections were <em>The Iliad</em> and <a href="http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursedesclong2.aspx?cid=4200" rel="nofollow"><em>Great Ideas of Philosophy</em></a>. If I finish a book before I have the next one ready, I sometimes turn on the radio, but I quickly regret it. Last time, NPR was discussing whether Hillary Clinton's campaign had left a tip for a waitress. No more talk radio drivel for me; from now on, <strong>I</strong> control what I listen to.
