I'm a real gram geek so I read on my phone. I also listen to audiobooks at night. I use the Libby app to get books/audiobooks from the library or use Librivox, which has volunteers reading non-copyrighted material.
I agree about the balance of distracting, but not too distracting. I tend to go for light-hearted mysteries and historical fiction that isn't too dark. From Librivox, I like John Muir, older travel stories, or classic adventures. Oftimes, I've seen the movie (Beau Geste, four feathers) so if I doze off, I still know what's going on in general. (The Count of Monte Cristo had dozens of plot lines that didn't make it to the screen, though.)
Love this. Books and nature just go so well together imo. I have never read so much as when I was out doing breeding bird surveys and had very limited phone service for weeks at a time. I didn’t like the books that made me yearn for human contact. Thanks for the great read.
