"Where Do You Like to Do It?" Winners

Random House Audio has announced the winners of its "Where Do You Like to Do It?" contest (Audio, June 4). Contestants were invited to write a short essay, poem or story about their use of audiobooks. Winners received a CD Discman. The first-place winner was Stacy Alesi of Boca Raton, Fla., for this poem: "I like to do it in my car/ Peter Mayle takes me far/ I like to do it in the bath/ David Rakoff makes me laugh/ I like to do it while I run/ Lemony Snicket makes it fun/ I'd like to do it all the time/ Then aural pleasure would be mine!"

Second place went to Jackie Miller, an employee of Kate's Mystery Books in Cambridge, Mass., for this entry: "An Inconvenient Woman falls silent as Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil surrounds me. The spoken word is protective armor, as I Swim with Sharks in this Stormy Weather commute to work. While audioless drivers miss the Tara Road exit, I find The Return Journey home bliss."

The third-place winner was Todd Pierce for this poem: "Treadmilling at the gym/ I often look at other walkers/ headphones cupped over their ears/ and wonder what poets they are listening to/ what poems they can recite/ as we climb this perfectly sloped hill/ a loop of reinforced rubber,/ a road that never ends."
