I know Stephen does it himself, but I read more people who do that.
Isn't that terribly distracting both ways: you're not fully with your attention on the road and not fully with your attention on the book. Especially when there is a tense part in a book (as there is bound to be with horror and thrillers) it actually seems dangerous to me.
It's not something that doesn't require strong attention like music. Even when there is a radio programme consisting of talk you don't follow everything often, you tend to miss little things when you take a turn etc. So how you gonna follow a BOOK, you're bound to miss things. It seems such a terrible way to listen to them.
I don't drive a car, but I know enough of the behaviour of people who do. And I do ride a bike.
