I find it helpful though to keep some kind of notebook, pda, or use mp3 player built-in dictophone to make notes. You don't need those if you are reading a fantasy book (I do it too, otherwise I would never find time for those books), but if you're learning, taking notes is important.

I used to hit the library for audio tapes and CDs on a regular basis, and loved being able to listen to them on my commutes. While I'm using my iPod on my drives now, maybe it's time I hit up my old hangout again and see what they have that's new.

It takes focus off of arriving at the destination, and focuses you on the present. Wouldn't have it any other way. Exactly, I agree.
