Title: Audio books? Post by: JimmiesForBitcoins on April 18, 2013, 05:54:58 PM How do y'all feel about audio books? Are there any books that you wish had an audio version, but don't?
Edit: Are there any books which you wish had an audio book version? Title: Re: Audio books? Post by: Mike Christ on April 18, 2013, 06:06:26 PM I've never attempted to listen to one before. It might help me out tho, as I have to speak while reading anyway, or else my mind floats away into some random BS and five pages later I have no idea what's happening in the story.

Great for when you can't spare the use of your hands to turn a page. Like driving. Or in my case, elbow-deep in dishes. Here's a great site, lets you read at whatever pace you want. http://podiobooks.com/ Strongly suggest this series: http://podiobooks.com/title/trader-tales-1-quarter-share/ It's awesome.

I'm more looking for books that I could use for audio projects, seeing as I do narration and voice over. Public domain or books that the copyright holders wouldn't care if I made an audio version of. I could just pick books at random, but I'd rather do books that people are actually interested in. Title: Re: Audio books?

Do you read out loud, or talk about something completely different to someone else/yourself?Title: Re: Audio books?

I read out loud to stay on track; if I'm not talking, I start thinking about something else, or I'll be inspired by what I read and put the book down after just a few paragraphs :P |
