misteraven Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Seems a good many of you are listening to books versus reading them. Just curious if you are using the Audible platform / service for that? I have a membership but finding it kinda pricey at $15 or so a month, which gets you one credit, good for one book. I use the shit out of prime and though similar in that you get a bunch of free options in addition to paid ones, seems the free ones on audible kinda suck. Anyhow, just curious.

misteraven Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Haven’t read this one but came very highly recommended by someone I trust. Probably next on my list.

metronome Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Have never read anything by Ryan Holiday but the few times I’ve listened to him talk he’s seemed like a smart dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to audio books on occasion but I prefer to read. I like doing memoirs or non fiction in audio book form. If you have a Spotify account, they have a bunch of audiobooks included in premium service.

Dark_Knight Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 40 minutes ago, KILZ FILLZ said: That has been on my list for a while Same. It’s like $250 to purchase. I recently thought to look it up on Spotify and sure enough they have it. Probably the only way I’ll be able to consume it considering I’ll never spend $250 on a book that’s like 100 pages. I’m digging it so far tho. I love yukio mishima’s work in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realized they had book on there and they happened to have the one I just shared, along with another that’s been on my list. Downloaded both. Thanks for the heads up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Audible but since I read lots of zombie/ post apocalyptic stuff I tend to buy collected editions so it's like 4 books for one credit. Books in Australia are pricey so $16.95 a month is cheap. never really thought much about spotifiy but my son listens to wimpy kid books sometime. also if you search audiobooks on youtube sometimes you can find some gold.

Zombie / PA / SHTF books are my thing. Especially the poorly edited, straight to Kindle fan fiction ones. Those feel like a purer expression of a concept in my opinion. Kinda like seeing the sketches and under painting studies for an oil painting. My current Kindle library LOL… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could remember the series I recently finished. Feel like I’ve read most the Amazon books in this genre so they start to blur together. Definitely a big fan of all the Dirk Patton series as well as all the Zombie Road books. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
