Audio Books - What's Hot For 2010? by Jim Oneil

Just like printed books, you certainly have to update yourself with the latest audio book releases. Whether it is printed or audio, any book can make such a deep impression that it may be hard to forget its most interesting features. However, no matter how interesting a book is, you will find it less enjoyable as soon as you are on the nth time reading or listening to it. It is great to have library with a collection on the oldest literary items. It is even greater if your library contains with the most recent bestsellers. That is why you should not be left behind when it comes new releases, especially if people know how particular you are with books. Now, that 2010 has just unfolded, you should be able to get hold of the hottest new audio books around.

If you love to listen to classic short stories as you spend time on your treadmill, buying and downloading Short Stories by Anton Chekhov. This has six wonderfully narrated stories. This one is good also if you are just seizing an opportunity that a short break from work gives. Each story's narration can be done in about ten minutes, a good leisure interest if you have no one with you on a coffee break. However, if you want something to relieve you from stress, have a good laugh with The Daddy Clock by Judy Markey. Just be sure to have some privacy while you listen to this comedy. Otherwise, around you may doubt your mental health as you laugh all by yourself.

Entertainment from detective thrillers is great as you laze under the shade of a tree in the park. Dick Francis' Blood Sport may be the companion you need there on a Sunday afternoon. If you do not want to waste an hour of your day-off for sleeping, this audio book's suspense will certainly keep you awake. If you want to reminisce the days of radio drama, you cab get a copy of radio adaptations of old detective classics such as The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Written by Anthony Boucher and Dennis Green, this is guaranteed to amuse you, while reminding you of the times when radio was the only form of entertainment.

Acquiring a new language is more fun if you have your tutor in your pocket. You can get audio books just fresh in the market. One of these is Pimsleur's Hungarian. Written by the famed linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, you can be sure that every minute spent in listening is worth the money you spent for it. You can also buy Easy Russian for English Speakers: Saying Goodbye. This a two-minute course just enough for you to learn the Russian way of expressing farewell.
