My father sings opera at the animal shelter. I like some jazz music. I'm not familiar with country music. I like big band jazz. I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings trilogy audiobook. i listen to audiobooks during my commute.
I like the Lord of the Rings movies. I don't have time to read.  I like to read. I am a travel agent. I like to ride my bike. I could not be a vegetarian. I like country music and sometimes jazz. my favorite country band is zac brown, and I like winton marsellis for jazz. i want to get back into reading.
I'm almost done listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I haven't read the books before, but I have seen the movies. Would you recommend the audiobooks to someone who normally likes to read? Yes, it can be a different way to hear the same book. I recommend picking by the reader, not the author. Sounds reasonable, if I don't like the speaker of an audiobook, I might tune out. Do you normally listen to audiobooks of your favorite novels, or do you read them first? I listen first. Usually a good reader can bring a book alive. Sometimes the words seem dry on the page but a lot more entertaining when someone reads them. I normally like to read a book, before seeing the movie or even the show. Although I haven't had time to do so for the books coming out that I want to read. I might listen to more audibooks on my bike rides instead of listening to music. I listen to audiobooks while sitting in traffic. Otherwise I would get pretty antsy just sitting there. Audiobooks on a bike ride? I suppose you could. Usually I like music with exercise, but maybe it could work. Thats a good point, I'll give it a shot and see if it works out. What kind of music do you like to listen to while you work out, is it Jazz or something else? Yes, I listen to jazz. There are many flavors of jazz. Bebop is fast tempo stuff, good for exercise. Good to know, I normally try to avoid slower tempo songs or music while I work out. It doesn't seem to pump me up as much, which is why I don't listen to country when I work out. Probably country music is good  for dancing, good for parties and relaxing. Jazz works for me, but probably not for most people. I agree, country is good for other occasions, if you enjoy it. Does your father have an event coming up that he has to go to?
