Feel free to hate em but tbh i think their awesome now...specially when your tired of hearing the same **** on the radio all day everyday. Anyways whats your favorite or any suggestions? since half of the time its hard to find them at all

[TwoFaced]

Never actually used one...seen a few here and there but nothing that caught my attention enough to spend 15-20+ bux on it.

if you're feeling like a long haul set of audio books, and you're into fantasy type stuff, you cant go wrong with the Wheel of Time series http://en.wikipedia....e_Wheel_of_Time

Many many many hours of good books, I went through them all in the car on my way to and from work!

Dont get me wrong, I love reading, but it's a good way to pass the time on the commute and it ends up being more like a dramatized play than a book

hop onto TS for more details lol, gotta interogate you

I love audiobooks but the person reading them can either make or break the book for me. Tim Curry does a beautiful read of A Series of Unfortunate Events so i'd highly recommend checking those out!

Also, The Last Apprentice (AKA: The Wardstone Chronicles) is really well done and one of the best series out there right now.

I get an hour lunch break so I usually end up walking outside (Pacific NW has some pretty nice scenery and clean air) and a few months back got bored listening to podcasts or music. Decided to take up listening to some books I have always meant to read but never have gotten around to.

So far I have listened to 2001: A Space Odyssey and am about 3/4 of the way through Ender's Game. If you like Starship Troopers, you would probably like Ender's Game. The best way I can describe it is that it's Starship Troopers meets The Lord of the Flies.

And 2001...enough said. Best ever, that's what I say...Dave.

I agree definitely a good series, also i heard they're making this into a movie called "the Seventh Son"....kinda worried they'll kill it though like most book to movie conversions

i love audiobooks listened Dune and it was awesome

I had about 3 Star Wars audiobooks a few years ago, but lost them due to my lack of computer knowledge at the time. I have all (at least I believe so) of the BT audiobooks. Good listen. I have the first two A Song of Ice & Fire audiobooks, as well as a few others (Sun Tzu's The Art of War, The 48 Laws of Power, The Prince & one or two more that I cannot remember right now). Good for when you are travelling a long distance.

The movie deal makes me nervous too, but they have Jeff Bridges signed on so there may be hope for it *fingers crossed*
