Anyone else into audiobooks?

Let's face it: We can't always read. Sometimes we need to drive. Some other times we need to take showers and stuff. And there are times when we are making out with someone. Yet, you really need to get your daily fix of "Crime and Punishment". What do you do? You listen to an audiobook.

You can get some for free, like those available on Librivox, you can purchase some others on Audible, and you can also borrow some from anonymous friends over the innanets (and, to be fair, the only reason why I mention this is because Audible is a pain in the arse depending on the player you have, but I don't think I need to remind you that TranceAddict does not support file sharing, do I?)

So, do you like to listen to books? Where do you (legally) get yours?

The only audiobook I've ever listened to was on cassette when I was a small child. It was a story called Arabele's Raven. I wonder if that was when I became interested in birds

It's a good thing you haven't heard Nabokov, then.

lots of libraries loan out audiobooks via limited downloads now. I use a library next to me, and they have a fairly decent selection. The files are good for 21 days. I'm not sure if there are any that will loan internationally but I'll look into it.

Libraries in the US have audio books but not a big selection and you have to watch out for abridged versions. I used to read a lot of books while driving in the car. I've gotten out of the practice but I might start again. Just be careful if its in the car because listening to a book can be as distracting as using a cell phone because it interferes with you mental ability to react.

I might have Anna Karina kicking around.

Is that the abridged version of Anna Karenina?

I used to get into them a bit, they're good for long trips- My eyes get sore after a while, and when i was a kid I would ocassionally get car-sick when on long road trips with my folks, when reading--

had a lot of terry pratchett books (ones narrated by Tony Robinson i recall were mad)... Used to listen to a lot of BBC radio shows too- Goon show, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy...

used to get a lot from the library..

I have a few economics books / lectures in audio form but apart from that i never really got into them. Tried to listen to the harry potter audio books, but despite the magnificent narration by the exceptional Stephen Fry i coudnt get into them.

prefer listening to podcasts in the car anyway.
