People also like to listen to audio books and tapes for curiosity reasons. Many people have a particular author that they like and would like to know more about them. Nowadays many authors actually narrate the books that audio form of the books that they write, so audio books and tapes are a way for people who have already read a particular book to listen to it and gain a different perspective.

This alternative to regular literature is also popular because it features the voices of famous actors and actresses sometimes. For example, if the movie form of a novel was particularly popular, the actors or actresses who played the main characters in the movie might agree to also narrate the audio book.

Other times, audio books can be like radio shows, in that they come complete with multiple actors and sound effects. So the next time you are in the mood for an alternative kind of literature, go to you local bookstore and pick up an audio book and tape.
