Gravely but soothing.

Ron Perlman has a rather gravely yet soothing quality to his voice. I have come to this decision after listening to him read the first two chapters of the audio book The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro/Chuck Hogan. The Strain is the first in a vampire trilogy that my mom recommended to me to read. But considering the rather large stack of books sitting waiting for me to read I thought hey I could check this book out as an audio book from the library using the Overdrive system. Having just recently found out that you can use this system to check out digital edition of books as well as audio books from your local library was a great find that I came across thanks to a person I follow on Twitter who had posted a blog explaining how to use the Overdrive system and Adobe digital editions to put e-books checked out of the library onto a Nook.(http://beingruth.com/tutorial-library-books-nook-overdrive/ said blog post) Something that as soon as she gets a replacement library card I will be showing my mom how to do so she can get books on her new Nook she got for Christmas. My only complaint about the Overdrive system is if an audio book can be checked out and then converted and transfered to a iPhone then why can it not be accessed with the Overdrive media dashboard iPhone app? Does not make a lot of sense. But still all in all I think it is very cool to be able to get e-books and audio books to read and listen to with out having to spend a lot of money to do so especially with the economy the way it is right now. 

The Strain sounds fairly interesting so far and I look forward to listening to the rest of it while taking my doggy for a walk and be read a tail by the soothing gravely voice.
