(SOUNDBITE OF RICHARD PRICE AUDIOBOOK, "LUSH LIFE")īOBBY CANNAVALE: (Reading) At the same hour, two night watch detectives crossed the chipped, octagonal tile of the front foyer of 27 Eldridge, then began trudging up the saddle-backed marble stairs to the top floor to begin their canvass.
This is the actor Bobby Cannavale performing the Richard Price New York crime novel "Lush Life." HOLMES: I'm going to play you a clip of my favorite audiobook of all time. To demonstrate to you - you're going to understand what I'm saying. And a lot of the time, I will choose them over reading on the page. They're about the separate pleasures of a great narrator performing a great book. They're not about times when I can't read on the page. For me, audiobooks are not primarily about convenience. MARTIN: I want to understand, like, because people aren't commuting as much, which is when, I would imagine, people listen to audiobooks, I mean, when is it happening? When is it happening for you? And this is why we have NPR pop culture critic Linda Holmes with us for some audiobook recommendations. Some people devour them, and some people would if they knew where to start, which is where I'm at.
I mean, come on, you can watch, read and listen to just about anything right now, including audio books. But it's not because there's a lack of personal entertainment options. You may be stir-crazy during the pandemic.
