I discovered audio books over a year ago, when I began a long and arduous daily commute in heavy city traffic. The books kept me sane, and for the first time in a long time, I'm actually finding the time to read! It's amazing!<BR/><BR/>:D<BR/>Angel Leigh McCoy<BR/>Seattle, WAAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522598582736010134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852708580253469865.post-56385435509470767242008-11-19T12:46:00.000-05:002008-11-19T12:46:00.000-05:00Audio books are a WONDERFUL invetion!

(I don't know him or anything, I just loved his book). It was a true story about a hockey goalie in Hungary who robbed 26 banks. It was sort of a slice of life of post-Soviet eastern block countries mixed with a thriller/comedy storyline. I liked it enough to pick up the paperback after I heard the audio, but it's actually much funnier in spoken word medium. The narrator/author has a deadpan delivery that is beyond priceless. Highly recommended for everyone, everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Bill Bryson's <B>A Short History of Nearly Everything</B> was really good too.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I've got an industry question: do audiobooks in general make much money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852708580253469865.post-84946562190693418552008-11-19T04:17:00.000-05:002008-11-19T04:17:00.000-05:00Just a suggestion, for audio books you might want ...Just a suggestion, for audio books you might want to look at www.podiobooks.com.
