This Strikes Me as Bizarre

madrobinsI've been thinking that, for the sake of my wretched posture, I should really download audiobooks to my iPod and listen as I walk, rather than walk along reading. At AudioBooks.com, the first books listed on their home page are:
• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
• Twilight
• Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake Book 7)
• The Giver
• Venus in Furs
• Four Play
• The Lovely Bones
• Lord of the Flies
• Decision Points (GW Bush's memoir)
• The Hunger Games
Okay, mostly unexceptional, if not so much to my taste. But I find it really interesting that dead center in the top ten are Leopold von Sacher-Masoch and a book about a young woman involved in a foursome (three men--someone's idea of a good time).
Further perusal suggests that sex is a big seller in audio books. Well, yes, MP3 players do leave your hands free.
I note that the entire Twilight saga is free, as is the book about the foursome, and the Qu'ran. And that there are at least three different versions of Decision Points, one read by Bush himself.
Maybe I need to rethink this plan.
