'My Life' Audiobook by Bill Clinton Wins Top Audio Publishers Award
When Bill Clinton's book My Life came out in hardcover last June people said, "Well, I won't be taking this book to the beach." After all, who would want to lug around a 1,008-page memoir along with umbrellas, beach chairs, towels and sand castle tools?! That said, Rugged Elegance was still successful in selling over 1,000 copies in twelve days.
This summer, it may be a little easier to dig into the former U.S. president's paperback version. Vintage released My Life: The Early Years ($7.99) on May 31st 2005. The number of pages have been reduced to 656.
For the same price ($7.99), you can wait less than a month, and soak up the sun while reading My Life: The Presidential Years. Vintage will release this title on June 28, 2005. However, you may order this 704-page paperback now.
Another way to tackle this American presidential autobiography is to plan a road trip.
You can listen to Clinton himself tell his own soul-searching story via his award-winning audiobook.
