V is for Vampire

Let's just do the funny today, since I'm still fairly behind on All The Things. Here is some of my favorite Vampire nonsense:

A is for Audiobook

I'm quite glad that "Audiobook" begins with an "A" because it is one of my favorite reading formats. I think it is safe to say that it's rather popular to humanity in general. If you know anything at all about storytelling, it all goes back to the oral story. It is one of the most important factors in the continuation of historical facts, religion, moral lessons, communication, entertainment, etc. It's been around for millenia and is still just as important.

I began reading at a young age, so I went a long time without the joy of the spoken word. Sure, various teachers would read assigned stories to the class, but I would tune them out and read ahead. I enjoyed going poetry readings, plays, and other live theater (which are also a form of the spoken word), but I never paid too much attention to the significance of vocal sharing.
