Anyone here interested in them besides me? I have just about run my library out and am looking for other sources/resources. I had a bad adventure with that stupid virus/malware and really don't wanna visit any sites at all now. The last one looked 100% legit, so looking isn't all that reliable. I am still totally in the dark as to how I acquired it.

PM me.

No, I prefer real books. The only audio book I'd consider is World War Z, considering it's got some awesome voice talent and is actually different from the book.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I looked already for another Snarkpit member. Its not available, yet. I can request it when I get back home if you'll remind me.

I prefer real books too, but that would fall under our recently ranted thread as a hazard while driving I'm afraid. :hee:

I can get it legitimately if I want it.

Its people who post like you do who make it hard not to break the rules around here. :hee:

I do not, nor will I ever consider library books sovereign territory. Books are intended to be seen, or in this case, heard. However, I am trying to abide by the rules that I helped instill here by not brazenly asking people to share audio books.

Anywho's, since two of you now have mentioned these books, I may try to check them out from my library too. I just hope they are not as disappointing as another series I was told were an absolute must read. If anyone has heard of the Elric of Melniboné, you'll know what I mean. I bought them all after one hell of a long search and was determined to finish them if it killed me. Books, not audio.

Anywho's, my pm works just fine. Lets keep any contentionious debating there.

T use audio books all the time when traveling. I usually get them from the library or on my ipod.
I read all the elric series and it's real good.
Another one I just listened to is Earth Abides, excellent read..I mean listen.
My favorites of all are the Galactic empire series by Issac Asimov, never can get enough of that, but you have to do it from the beginning (the pre-empire books).
Dean Koontz Seize the night is another favorite of mine.
I also prefer the unabridged versions.
