I really enjoyed the audio version and it made it much easier to get finish reading the second half of the book. I may to try the same thing with Finnegan's Wake.

Members THeLoveGun Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just finished "The Bed of Proscutes" by Taleb. (pleasant book of aphorisms, though there's lotsa bite to it)I'm mainly finding myself going bonkers over Rumi's translated works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Warpsmasher Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just finished all 5 audiobooks of A Song of Ice and Fire, and I'm about to start the Dunk & Egg novellas (3 short stories set in Westeros 100 years previous to asoiaf). Roy Dotrice's reading of A Feast for Crows became available almost immediately after I finished Storm of Swords, which was a fantastic coincidence. After hearing him do the first 3 books, nothing else could ever do. The way he acts out all the lines and voices each character really brings the story to life, and all the characters especially. I like Peter Dinklage as much as the next guy, but to me Roy is the true Tyrion Lannister. He'll be playing Hallyne the pyromancer in season 2, a pretty small part, but he's already every other character anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Clash of Kings is my next book so I can get it finished before the show starts. Originally Posted by Matt Gnarly I just finished A Feast for Crows and am about to start A Dance With Dragons, really digging the whole Song of Ice and Fire series. You know, it's the one thing I've read where I preferred the adaptation. I think the books are in dire need of a good editor (the first, at least, as that's all I've read, but I've been told it gets no better). Originally Posted by HP Hovercraft Just finished Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Previously it was everything that Neil Gaiman has ever written. Next up, the A Song of Ice and Fire series. /geek I do that - obsess about a certain author and read everything they've written. I've done it with Gaiman, Iain Banks (and his Iain M Banks stuff), Terry Pratchett when I was younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dpizappi Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm finishing up One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest now. I'm not sure what's next as I've got quite a few unread books waiting on my shelf. Might start on this beast if I'm feeling particularly brave.

Members RadioSilence Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Originally Posted by Aristotle Do it, they are great I've never really got into audiobooks before. One thing I'm worried about is, often when I'm reading my thoughts will drift off and I'll get to the end of the page without taking any of the words in, so I'll go back and reread it. I don't want to have to be rewinding all the time Maybe I'll try to find a free trial of a book. I think it's Audible that gives you a free book when you sign up? I may not have that right though.
