I like them. What I really like is combining them with a book on the kindle app (Whispersync). I'll read along as the narrator reads to me while having a cigar on the back porch, then just read on my own in bed so as not to wake the wife, then pick up where I left off in the car via just the audio. Lot's of options.
Yeah, that's a cool idea!!
Just doing audio with this one, obviously, but I'm at the end of chapter 20. It's a really good book so far.
Oh you blasted up to that chapter pretty fast.
Now, after I reply to some of Jimmy's comments ... which I hope you will come back later for, instead of looking now
, I will be off to listen to where you are in the book ...
I won't lie, I'm not an audio book guy. I will do them easily enough, but I can read faster than every narrator and like the experience of reading itself. But they are great in the car.
I almost HAVE to listen to books now. I can't, no matter how high the interest, stay awake when I start reading novels. I think the amount of drugs I have to take on a daily basis and the fact I get about 2 hours at a time hinders my ability to stay awake.
In-fact that sleep issue is also what helped me transition to digital comics. I would try to read an issue in bed before crashing and would always fall asleep, damaging the comic in some manner. Now I just bust my face open when the tablet falls from my hands.
Another reason hardbacks are never allowed in my bedroom
Yeah, if it were not for audio I would get very little book reading in at all.
But like you said, that car is a great space for "reading"
YES!!! Hahaha, thanks I couldn't remember the name and I sure did think she arrived a different way for some reason. That makes things a little easier for me to swallow. Man, the things that can be missed!!!
Thanks again, that does ease the old noggin'
I liken it to a Jim Butcher (Dresden Files) style of writing that I needed after the dense "read" that was the Wheel of Time's first book. It was a much appreciated palate cleanser. I can enjoy the more .... collegiate
high fantasy books, but I can't go back to back with them. Just too damn stuffy for me ... even though I enjoy them. If ya understand
Especially as I listen to my books, those "high-brow" fantasy books are like being in a lecture hall and as much as I am a fan of the occasional Ted Talk, sometimes I just want to listen to a guy tell a story, not try and remember 1,000 names for people and places. Especially when they all seem to have 2 or 3 different names themselves
My old brain can only handle so much. This book, semi-large cast, but not bad at all and only about seven locations/areas that I needed to try and remember
AMEN!!! Fantastic part. Felt so ... man ... those feels!!!
Absolutely loved that. And also liked that I did not see that coming at all. Great use of .... well, trying to go spoiler tag free on my responses, so yeah, great all around.
Same for me, although I was slightly spoiled when I read a piece the author had up on his website. It wasn't a "spoiler" but in a way, yeah it was. But you are correct on your analogy. I also thought it was going to be ... a slow handed sort
Best character in the book for me.
Well, best member of Saga anyway.
I have seen the reviews for the audio version of Bloody Rose and they are not overly kind. I have it, but going to take a break from that world and get back to the main goal. I only read KotW to take a break so it is time to head back to Fal Dara. I just started The Great Hunt (Wheel of Time book #2) where I was introduced to "the man who calls himself Bors"
