I’ve always been addicted to books and now that I live in the woods and have a 45 minute commute to get anywhere, I am addicted to audio books.   In the past year alone I’ve listened to Dan Pink’s Drive, Seth Godin’s Lynchpin, Chip and Dan Heath’s Switch, Marshall Goldsmith’s Mojo, and David Meerman Scott’s The New Rules of Marketing and PR.   While I greatly enjoyed all of these books, I do have one complaint – none included a table of contents.

When I read physical books, I often highlight and tab pages that I want to cite or refer back to.  Of course, I can’t do any of that with an audio book so I often find myself scribbling notes about which CD and which track contains a great idea or soundbite.  I’ve often wished that the book publishers would include a run down of what content is on each CD and track.  Random House, Penguin . . . anybody?
