My friend, Frank, heard I know something about audio books. He asked me one day which is recommended: unabridged audio book rentals or abridged ones.

I answered him with a little story. Frank has been a couple of time to my parents’ house and he knows that my mothers’ chicken soup is excellent. My mother prepares it each week and it takes her about three hours of kitchen work. I told Frank that last week I brought my mom an instant soup – two minutes in the microwave and it’s ready. My mother did not even agree to taste it. She told me it’s not only the outcome that counts – it’s the all process that has made her happy and enjoy the soup.

I explained Frank that he should consider the same things regarding his decision whether to rent unabridged audio books or abridged audio books.

Does he want to listen to the audio book from start to end, enjoying the continuity and the development of the story? Does he want to enjoy the writing of the author, to dig up the hidden meanings between the lines? If he does, he should get unabridged audio book rentals (The full version of the audio book), as if he read it.

The other side of the story, I also asked him does he only want to get a clue about the story. Does he only want to know the main idea of the audio book? Is he interested in the conclusion and the bottom line of the audio book? If he does, he should get the unabridged version of the audio book.

My friend, Frank, thought about it for a couple of days and then said he will eat the instant soup each day and my mother’s soup on the weekends. I immediately understood him: Frank will rent abridged audio books of his business journals and books and get unabridged audio books rentals of good enjoyable literature for the weekends.
