If I am home, I am usually listening to Coldplay, Smashing Pumpkins, or just a mix of MP3s. If I am at the gym I plug my ear buds into the TV channels and watch all those lame judge shows that come on during the day...gotta love them! PLus they make an hour on the treadmill go by pretty quickly!
lol, Breeze! You may be talking to the only creature on the planet who doesn't have an iPod . . . my better half even has an old mp3 player that he uses for listening to the radio! But my hearing has been so bad for so long that I keep background noise to a minimum if I can, and when I'm walking out on the (narrow just-barely-two-lane gravel) road, I need to be able to hear approaching vehicles.
OTOH, if anybody offers to put something on the stereo while I'm just sitting here playing on the computer, I'll take Ramsey Lewis . . . and if they have to have vocals, I'll take Dean Martin!

Pam-Your selection of music is that of a youngster! My youngest nephew listens to those groups. I am a little to old for those groups. And Shanny, best to walk without music in case a truck comes barreling down the highway!

Anything thats upbeat that makes me want to just start dancing Motown, disco, 80's, some 90's. Anything but country unless its early Loretta Lynn (Love Coal Miner's Daughter ) Once, I got into talk radio while I was using my total gym but had to stop and catch my breath when I got "fired up" about something and started to call in and give my opinion!

My favorite thing to listen to is actually Audiobooks. I listen to them on the treadmill especially and when it gets to a good part or I get excited, it makes me want to walk/jog/run faster. I just have to remember to stop myself from going "Noooo! You idiot!" and "Yay!" out loud as I have a tendency to talk to the characters when I read. Once at work I got a few funny looks because I started banging my head on the table when a favorite character did something stupid.

The Dresden Files are great for audiobooks. They're fun and funny and exciting and the voice actor is really good at what he does. To be honest, I always lean towards books written for teens when it comes to audio because it's easier for me to follow. Orson Scott Card's stuff is great for that too.
With books in general, I like fantasy and a bit of sci-fi, though it's always the style that makes the book. I love snappy dialogue and a good amount of humor and of course characters I actually care about. Some fantasy is far too flowery for my tastes but fantasy set in modern times usually delivers.
Are you a bookworm too?

Most definately. I like a lot of different books depending on my mood. I love books in the mystery/thriller type genre. I also loved the Harry Potter series. I am currently reading the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series (HBO's trueBlood is based on them). Her next book is due out next month and I cant wait for it! After that I will start on the third of the Twilight series. They are ok I guess...I dont *love* them like most of my friends. A bit too *angsty* for my taste. Besides...I like my vampires to flame in sun...not sparkle *eg*. Although the movies were good....especially the second one...lots of eye candy...yummy
