Listen to a Good Book – Audio Books for Seniors

By NHAR Leave a Comment

Endless Options with Audio Books

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
– Jane Austen

Entertain the imagination with a nice voice reading aloud a classic whether its a winding tale of men trying to cope with the flighty female ideals and romantic expectations through the pages of a Jane Austen classic or the suspenseful intrigue in a John Grisham novel.

Activity coordinators can encourage residents to join in to listen together and participate in a trivia quiz afterwards. Many people will remember books that were their favourites, or have favourite authors. To be able to share that with others could be very pleasant and enjoyable as a group activity or a quiet in-room discussion.

  • A Tale of Two Cities
  • Ernest Hemmingway
  • Jane Austen
  • Contemporary tales
  • Dean Kootnz
  • John Grisham
  • Classic Mysteries
  • Sherlock Holmes
  • Agatha Christie

There is no end to the selection and hours of relaxation and enjoyment to be had entertaining the imagination.

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.” – Ernest Hemingway
