RE: What Is Your Favorite Science Fiction Novel?

in #fiction8 years ago

Yeah audio books are never as good as actually reading them. If I find one that is decent I enjoy listening to it while I fall asleep. I just hate reading books on my phone or computer that im willing to listen to audio book if I cant get my hands on the real thing.
$4 is cheap, Ima check the links out now.
Philip k dick I cant believe I forgot him. lol
oh an The Metamorphosis is another up there that could be the one book I would choose but forgot too.

One thing that always makes me laugh with audio books is when you have someone reading it that makes a different voice for each person. it always cracks me up and makes it so I cant really take it serious.

Albert Camus is great.
Usually if I'm going to listen to audio, I find an educational podcast and listen to it at !.5 speed. Sci-fi I use for leisure.
There is one audiobook series that I have found that I love. It is The Aubrey, Machurin series by, Patrick O'brian. This series takes place at the end of the 1700's into the 1800's. It is centered on a ship's captain and his friend, who is a surgeon. If you are interested, make sure and get the version with Simon Vance narrating. This is the most fantastic series I have encountered outside of sci-fi. There are 21 books. It is the most fun thing ever. I've been thinking about doing a post about it, but I haven't found any that I can link to.
