You didn’t use an audio book?

😛

Actually, when I was a small child I did have a collection of audio cassettes for something called “The Bible in Drama” and “Character Building Drama”. I enjoyed the latter much more, kind of like modern parables or whatever.

Plus, I had a few Read Along Storybooks that came with audio cassettes. The two I remember now are E.T. and Return of the Jedi. My sister had at least one, but hers were on small 45 vinyl records she could play in her little plastic record player.

I also remember once making a little Read Along Storybook of my own, using typing paper, markers, and my little audio cassette recorder in my room, about outer space.

 
I know you were joking, and I do seem to much favor listening to books over actually reading them these days, but apparently there was a precedent set for it, which occurred to me sometime recently when I suddenly remembered the “Bible in Drama” set I used to have.
