Anyone into Audiobooks??
« on: Mon, 26 January 2015, 13:03:42 »
So I've realized I enjoy listening to something other than music on my daily commute.

I've went through a few audiobooks that lean towards the self help side of things but am considering branching out.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for audiobooks you really enjoyed?

I also have $10 in credit at audible I need to use.  ???

Ohh! I like audiobooks!

I especially enjoy when the author reads their own material. "Consider the Lobster and Other Short Stories" by David Foster Wallace is a favorite of mine! It's on audible.

The Dresden Files are expertly done by the guy who played Spike on Buffy.

If you like that genre, that is.

Audiobooks really help me deal with my stupid 90 min commute to/from work. I would definitely keep an eye on Humble Bundle in case they do another audio bundle - got the Hunger Games trilogy unabridged for $15, along with some other stuff I haven't listened to. So far I've just been listening to entertaining fiction stuff since I still want to pay attention to my driving.

I really loved the Diamond Age (and Snowcrash) by Neal Stephenson. I actually bootlegged it at first, was so confused but still enjoying it, then bought the real deal once I had some change to spare and realized my bootleg version was all out of order, hence my confusion :))

Audiobooks are a huge part of my reading now. Some days, I have to drive a sales route as part of my job, and I've gone through more than a few books while on the road.

Do you like Wil Wheaton's voice? Three that I've listened to have him as narrator. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Redshirts by John Scalzi, and Homeland by Cory Doctorow. I enjoyed all of those.

Also, I can recommend Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes. It's read by the actor Will Patton.

I was a little into audiobooks way back in college.. autobiographies can be really good, and horror is fun when driving at night. I remember I liked these few out of the ones I've ever listened to:

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
My Life by Bill Clinton
John Dies at the End by David Wong

I would recommend The Teaching Company lecture series if you haven't heard them before.  They have college professors record a set of 30 minute lectures on a topic(usually 12 or 24).  They are perfect for the morning commute.  There are a lot of different topics, but I mostly listen to the history courses.

I enjoyed The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and also Star Wars (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and Episodes 4-6).  There are various Star Trek audio books that I'm currently listening to.

I'm on a one book a month subscription to Audible, really starting to love audio books. Never been a big reader but having a 20x2 min walk to work every day and doing the dishes its just perfect. Can just about fit in one book a month and for like £7/month its not much money to speak of.
Last book I finished was "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance", fantastic book can really recomend it.

Currently listning to "The Metamorphosis" by Kafka because I finished my monthly book a little early so I had to pick up two. Sneaking a short one in between. So far it's rather bizarre but interesting

I've been listening to audiobooks and musicals at work.

Now, keep in mind I started the audiobook world only late last year; for years I've scoffed at them, seeing them as the lazier man's book medium. But life's too busy and I need my fixes, so alas I caved.
I started with Jim Dale's fantastic Harry Potter narrations, then went into the Thrawn trilogy. Marc Thompson is great, but man-oh-man I can't stand his Leia.

That's as far as I've gotten; I have Dune next in queue, as well as The Eye of the World.


Oh, and the NPR radio dramatizations of the first three Star Wars films by Brian Daley! Those are phenomenal. Stellar, really.
I listened to them years ago, and it was the first time I heard about how the rebels got the plans to the Death Star. This was way before Disney had the license, let alone created Rogue One.

Theres a recent "full cast" read of Neil Gaiman's American Gods by a cast that sounds a lot like the cast on the show which is really cool. Another fantastic one where the author reads it with all the right inflection and phrasing is Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.. and all the others.

I tried audiobooks starting with The Wheel of Time series (probably around the same time this thread started). I couldn't get into listening to someone read. It bugs me for some reason. I made it through Eye of the World, then maybe halfway through The Great Hunt, but my mind phased out. I can follow along to some nerdy af podcasts though.

I am rarely driving far enough, alone, to get engaged, although my wife often plays podcasts when the family is taking a drive (my kids are teenagers and mature enough to understand significant concepts).

I listened to that on and off for nearly a decade. Fell out of the habit recently.

Used listen to a lot of audiobooks before I started reading ebooks on my phone. If work eventually gets a little less interruption filled I'll probably start listening to more of them while doing autocad.

I've got an almost 4 year old and have managed to get him into audio instead of one of those in car DVD players because he watches enough TV already. Built it up over a year and a half so now he's heard Charlottes Web, The Iron Giant, Fantastic Mr. Fox and we're starting a 5 CD edition of Pinnochio next.

What apps you all use for non-DRM books? I was switching between Smart AudioBook Player and Listen Audiobook Player for Android. Settled on Smart.
Listen has more options, but I don't listen to audiobooks enough to utilize them all.

Audio books are SO much better then regular books. They give the book more of an "immersive" and "atmospheric" vibe. Personally, i find them more as a companion and they go well with reading the book, like coffee and a biscotti.

The voices don't always match what I envisaged when reading the paper versions.

And it's really annoying when two different people read books from the same series and give the characters different voices.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

What's worse is when the readers don't plan for people speeding up tapes. The book I'm currently listening is read so the words are fast and the pauses between words is long. Speeding the book to 1.5x sounds like burst fire.

I've listed to the entirety of A Song of Ice and Fire (book series that Game of Thrones is based on) on audiobook and really enjoyed it.  The narrator for them is the late Roy Dotrice.
There's another min-series called "Tales of Dunk and Egg" set in the same universe that was a great listen as well.

Audio books seem so novel and convenient; I haven't tried listening to one while driving; but in any other circumstance I just can't pay attention while simultaneously being engaged in something else. Could be the material as well.
