SKDownside of audio books - when you want to make a note of something. Usually I'm out walking when listening & not in writing down mode. Now listening to Lenny Kaye's "Lightning Strikes" which seems ideal for an audio book (being read by the author helps) - but he slips in all these nuggets I want to investigate further...
