Tech Audiobooks

[THE HCP]

Anybody out there hooked on audiobooks? I am now!
Really started listening to podcasts back in March when all this bullshit started.
Then I realized I had like 30 books on my iPad ready to be read and I just wasn’t getting to them. So I recently started listening to them instead, and I love it. Any of you guys into these?
I feel like I’m cheating, but I am down with the audiobook now!

I use audio books when I’m on a long road trip, especially when passing through some of the less scenic areas of the country. When I get a good one I almost hate to reach my destination.......

I have Audible. I am so behind, I just listen in the car.

I had tried to read the Steve Jobs biography 3 times and it was so slow...... Just listened to it. Like 30 hours of it. No way I could have gotten through it.

@SlyPokerDog is there a way to make S2 available in audiobook form? I would love to sit back and listen to all this while I'm driving.

If you like murder mysteries James Patterson's audiobooks have great production value. Multiple voice actors and some sound effects.

I do like his books. Just grabbed a few.
When you asked if I liked murder mysteries, I though you were going to say that's what THIS place would be like in audiobook form.

I have a Kindle Fire that I can download audiobooks onto from the library....can load 3 at a time...just need a valid card and they're free..to me audio books are great if they are read by the right person...a Morgan Freeman type orator....if they use the wrong narrator I'll lose interest usually

How would the audio book display the hidden messages from people you ignore?

Why can't I hear your answer?

A daily thing for me ever since I got my Realtor license. Used to buy them but now I get them all on my phone from the Deschutes County Library. Some favorite readers are Will Patton doing James Lee Burke's books, Brad Pitt doing All the Painted Ponies, Eric Conger doing John Sandford books, Dick Hill doing Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, Joe Montegna doing Robert B Parker's Spenser series, Titus Welliver doing Parker's Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch series...

Audiobooks I've listened to since Covid-19 introduced itself:

Atomic Habits by James Clear
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari
21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
Bolívar by Marie Arana
Dune by Frank Herbert
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton

The Yuval Noah Harari books I think anyone will enjoy and benefit from. I've read Dune and Dune Messiah several times before listening to them, but the audiobook performances were fantastic.

Takes me back to the 50s when I would listen to Boston Blackie, The Lone Ranger, Superman and the Phantom on the radio.

Prairie Home Companion was my go to radio fix
