    Default Anyone into Audio books?

    Anyone into audio books?

    I started getting into audio books about 3 years ago and since then have listen to more than 150 of them. I listen to them while I walk the dogs or when I can't sleep.
    The vast majority I get free from the Librivox website or the public library.

    I just finished listening to Tunnel Rats - the story of the Aussie sappers in Vietnam who went into the Vietcong tunnels - what an impressive bunch they were.

    Here is a partial list of what I have listened to - history, old school science fiction are amongst my favourites.

    Thanks for the links Bob, appreciated. I tried a few audiobooks a while ago and for some inexplicable reason they made me fall asleep. I completely avoided using them in the car. I couldn't be a narrator either, I start yawning after 2 or 3 sentences.
