Ahh, now I get it. I've only heard "Hugging the toilet bowl". I was thinking all sorts of unsavoury thoughts, especially with the word 'romance'.
I was thinking that you were doing something.....strange....to porcelain objects. Writesville

Hello WV,
It is amazingly hard to convert a book to audio yourself. I have a humour thriller, Escaping Reality, that a couple of blind friends wanted as audio. It took me and two actors 16 hours to read a scripted version to a microphone. It should have only taken 11 hours but it is humour and so we wasted time laughing, or trying not to. We sent the mp3 files off to pod book sites but they said we were too far from the mike. Aaarrggh! So, I'm trying again but with Dimension, a collection of SF short stories.
I did try using Microsoft Reader to read it aloud but the Stephen Hawkin effect overrode the romance and suspence aspects too much!
