No, I don't. I don't have a lot of physical activities -- driving, chores, handwork -- that invite hands-free listening, I am (now) part-deaf in one ear, I find oral presentations slow compared to reading, and most of all, I am a very visual processor with a very visual memory. All of that works against listening. Although if I were to acquire some hands-busy-brain-free routine task, that could change. (I once had a friend who used to work at a particularly stultifying data entry job while listening to audiobooks, which I found boggling.)
With my own books, it is pretty much impossible for any narrator to exactly replicate the cadences and intonations I have in my own mind, so that adds an extra level of dissonance.

Hi Lois, I first picked up your books when my dad introduced me to the series with Warrior's Apprentice. Since then I've devoured everything you've written, in both sci-fi and fantasy. I find General Piotr's back story incredibly fascinating. Were there ever plans for a prequel involving his fight against the Cetagandans?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
In the world of the five gods, how different are the afterlife experiences of the various gods? That is to say, if a person is taken up by the Brother, do they experience a truly different afterlife from someone taken up by the Daughter? And, as a corollary, do each of the gods have a separate "heaven" or is there one afterlife that may be affected by the perceptions of the god whose gate you came through?
