Title: Audiobooks
Post by: Gamplayerx on December 10, 2007, 06:32:32 PM
I need an audiobook to download for my husband and I to listen to on our drive this weekend.  Neither of us has ever listened to one.  And he's not a book reader.    So, probably something light and entertaining.  Any suggestions?

That looks really interesting, but perhaps just for me.

There's a whole comedy section on that site.  It might be good to peruse.

I'll send you a referal to Audible.com. I think you get a free download to try out the service.

You should go ahead and download the other two in the series. And since you are going to be downloading books, you should subscribe at the gold level for 61 days.

One of those satellite radio services has a channel that is nothing but old radio serials. I listened to that on a drive down to Florida several months back. That was freakin' sweet.

Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union
Michael Chabon's "Gentlemen of the Road"


Both are excellent.
