On What Are The Best Audiobooks For A Road Trip?
That dreadful Lord of the Rings audiobook was one of my dad's favorite things when I was a kid, and he played it on EVERY car trip over 60 minutes for many years.
Coincidentally, I also get severely motion sick, especially in the back of my dad's cars, which were inevitably low to the ground two-door deals where you had zero visibility from the back seat, so I spent basically all car trips of over 20 minutes severely nauseated.
And that, my friends, is why the Lord of the Rings makes me feel ill to this day.

On Some Awesome Things To Say To A Cancer Patient
If your response to this is "omg I feel defensive. How dare someone with cancer object to how I choose to (insensitively) show my concern for their condition! Their having cancer is SUPER AWKWARD for me, ffs, they should show me some consideration!" you are 1. a douchebag, and 2. exactly who this post is satirizing. I do not and have never had cancer but somehow, SOMEHOW, I still know better.
Thank you and have a lovely day.

@bgprincipessa I always go funny or trashy. David Sedaris audiobooks are awesome, and so is any similar comedy-memoir type thing. But also, for some reason I'd never read Jodi Picoult on dead trees but I'm completely happy to listen to her stuff in audiobook format while cleaning the house or whatever.
My boyfriend lived 2.5 hours away for a year and I was the only one with a driver's license so I listened to a LOT of podcasts and audiobooks that year.
