I spent more than two hours on the road every day. Even in the Bay Area, it's still a long commute. What can you do? I'm just making a living. I do, however, find the commute time is perfect to listen to books. Over the years, I listened to numerous audio books.
I enjoy many non-fiction books that I borrowed from the library. My favorites: To be a Slave, The history of Everything, Rome Lives. I listened to some books multiple times. I hate Jack Walsh’s Winning. The content of the book is good, but the presentation is horrible. He should just hire a good actor to read for him.
I also listen to many motivational speakers: Tony Robbins, Stephen Covery, etc. These books make my commute tolerable.

On the Road

My favorites are U. C. Berkeley Podcast lectures, and popular songs in English and Chinese. Victor becomes familar with several Chinese songs and asks me about the lyrics. I explain to him what they mean, and a part of me feel like having a conversation with a young man who wants to know about the world, its people, emotions, dreams and responsibilities--life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans, isn't it?
