hahah ok cool. i always figured u were tyring to push his button whenever u use the word read in relation to audioboks (and ive seen it on other threads), but im glad u confirmed it. =) ur funny
Malcom Gladswell's books are on Audible and are all good listens.
yeah depends ont he author. im doing "rereads" of ASOIAF right now, and im doing them at 1.9 since ive read them all 2 or three times and already audiobooked them 2 or 3 times as well... and 1x is pretty slow regardless for thisnarrator
A little off topic...
Anyone got any Audible suggestions?
Recently listened to:
The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermi
Written by: Michael Finkel
Not bad. I expected a bit more insight into the recluse lifestyle but was a decent listen.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: 50th Anniversary Edition
Written by: Ken Kesey , Robert Faggen
A classic. Always entertaining as they come.
A Man Called Ove
Written by: Fredrik Backman
A good listen. Entertaining. Touches at the heart and on the loss of a loved one and how vulnerable we all are.
Fifteen Dogs
Written by: André Alexis
A Canada Reads finalist but I struggled to get into it and connect with the story. I thought I would be a mark, being a dog guy & someone who enjoys philosophy but I cant say I recommend this book.

I enjoyed "the great Escape." Was really short tho. I think it wss only 6 hours or so at 1x.
Wasn't life changing, but for me, it wss kind of awesome sibc e 95% of what I listen to has magic, elves, or sword fights.

just a heads up for anyone who has been signed up for Audible, there was a class action lawsuit filed a couple years ago that customers felt the legal writing was to vague and members were not aware they would lose already purchased credits if they unsubscribed.
Judge did not rule on either side and audible agreed to compensate any customers who may have lost credits.
I was digging through emails from 6 months back and found out Audible had sent me 2 Credits...it had been sitting in my email box for 6 months before I realized this...
Check your emails ..you may have some free credits in there from Audible.

Did you have to activate the credits? If not, about easy way to check would just be ti log into the account on a webpage or the app (usually credits auto load ... but theres a max of 6 you can store. So youd lose any that come in if you are sitting on a 6 credit queue (take that with a grain of salt)
Good point, but this was a little different... I rarely actually log into my account but after seeing the email I immediately logged into my account it said I had 0 credits, it wasn't until I went and purchased a book that I was notified that the purchase would cost $0 dollars.
Ah great point. It's a promotionz not a credit
You can still get Nomad on a credit.
Trying to leave them is annoying.
I have four credits left. I only signed up to get one book. a year later......
I will cancel on saturday after spending them

Recently finished Stalling For Time by Gary Noesner. Great book that had me digging into some stories I never heard of. Some of his experiences make me frustrated just listening to the challenges he had to deal with in his own people. Would recommend.
On deck is Sapiens by Yuval Harari then Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.
