Maybe someday. But right now, I really don’t have the time to do that sort of thing. Not in such a way as would be worth listening to, anyway.

Just read Greta Christina’s new one and she does a marvelous job of reading it.

If you did something like that once a month and put in the itunes store for 99 cents I bet you’d get a lot people who’d be interested. You could do interviews, and just generally bring philosophy to a down to earth level, all the while showcasing your casual and humorous style of speaking to keep people’s attention.

No pressure. Don’t talk too fast. Or too slow. Or mispronounce any words by mistake.

Cautionary tale: Back when I was a youth pastor, I held an event where we recorded the middle school and high school students reading the Bible cover to cover in one sitting. Yes, I was probably the lamest youth pastor in the history of the world, but at least I could say my students had read the darn thing. There is nothing worse (read: better) than listening to a 6th grade girl high on Jolt Cola and Pixie Stix read about Paul’s ministry to the “genitals” at 2 am. Unless it’s watching 9th grade boys read Song of Solomon aloud in a room full of girls.

Now get back to work. 🙂

I find that listening to audiobooks is the best way for me to “read” non-fiction books, especially history or philosophy.

I have tried to read Not the Impossible Faith on my Kindle, but it’s difficult for me to get the sense of a book when it’s read by a machine voice.

I will happily buy the audiobooks of Not the Impossible Faith and Proving History as they become available.

It is hard for me to be a part of this community, because I cannot see well enough to read, and I cannot walk well enough to go anywhere. Having appropriate materials available as audiobooks goes a long way toward making me feel included.

Thanks again for making your books available to me.

Stella
