Audiobooks

After watching 'The Genius of Darwin' on the telly box i thought i would check out other work by Richard Dawkins...
i don't really have the time or patience to read a book so i downloaded the audio version of 'The God Delusion'. its brilliant,instead of work being mind numbingly boring its now educational and insightful.
i'm now in the process of acquiring 'The origin of species', 'The ancestor's tale' and 'River out of Eden' which are all narrated by Dawkins himself.

can anyone suggest a book to listen to?

Is it only educational books you want? Or any kind?

Hay, Alister McGrath wrote a fantastic retort to Dawkins book called "The Dawkins Delusion?, subtitled *Atheist fundamentalism and the denial of the divine"...

*He exposes many of the flaws in Dawkins writings, while i'm on the side of Dawkins on this one an educated person would be advocated and see this very inteligent response:

Me too, but these things are all about balance. I've got a good few audio books on mp3 Sun Tzu's Art of War etc... i could burn them to cd if you want.

that would be great...thanks.

anyone know of any sites that steam audio books?

ha! I think it's both along with a touch of dyslexia.

From who actually READS books I can highly recommend it as being a very relaxing activity
Check out the book GENERATION KILL and then bitorrent the HBO series by the same name ...:)

Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy is a must along with the seminal audiobook...Under milk wood narrated by Richard Burton.

there is a website where you can listen to the Burton for free (it's in the public domain)

i'll never tire of listening to it.

"FIRST VOICE [ Very softly ]
To begin at the beginning:
It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea."http://www.undermilkwood.net/prose_undermilkwood.html

My mum used to play it to me before bed when I was younger purely because Burton's voice was so relaxing and melodic. A side effect being that I now know pretty much the whole thing verbatim.

i've been listening to audiobooks at work when i get a chance to actually sit at my desk latley.
so much better than the radio.

I like to listen to the audio books of erotic novels, porn mags and classic porn films, it takes the drudgery out of the experience.

if you want nonfiction freakonomics is pretty entertaining and comes in audiobook format

What other options are there other than £8/month audible?

Is there a pay-per-book provider rather than a monthly subscription model service?

Are there any decent repos of free audio books?
