I can't stop listening to Mystery Audio Books

        My love of mystery books started very early in life. I remember reading detective novels when I was growing up, as a matter of fact. Although some adults lose the taste for it, every kid loves mystery stories. You see, for kids life is a mystery. When you are young, the most important task is to understand the world around you.

You are born knowing nothing, and the first several years of your life are when you form your world view. Reading a good mystery story now and then can help you learn how to make reasonable deductions, showing you the logical processes that you will need to use throughout the rest of your life.

Like most childhood fans of mystery books, I used to try to place myself in the stories. I used to want to write mystery books myself, as a matter of fact. I tried on several occasions, and although my parents liked them at the time, I never really grew up to be a great writer. After that, I thought that I would join the police force and become a detective. As soon as I reached adolescence, however, I gave up this idea. I was a skateboarder, you see, and police officers harassed me for just hanging out and having fun so often that I wanted no part of law enforcement. I knew then that the closest I would ever get was reading mystery books, and that was just fine with me.

I like all kinds of mystery books. I love the classic stories like Sherlock Holmes, of course, as well as childhood classics such as the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. My favorites, however, were mystery science fiction books. For me, mystery was even more exciting when it brought in aspects of an alien world or technologies that hadn't been invented yet. A lot of people are in it to try to figure out the mystery before the detective can, but for me the suspense is every bit as important.

Of course, in the very best mystery books you can really identify with all of the characters – both the good guys and the bad guys. This is a rare feature, but I have seen it a few times. After all, siding with the hero as he is trying to catch the villains is exciting enough, but when you can also feel things from the villains perspective as they try to get away, it can be even more exciting.
