Listened to "emperor's soul" by brandon sanderson. 100 page novel.
This guy sanderson, is a god. He is so good. In 100 pages he created this amazing world, with a unique magic system and an amazing story, satisfying conclusion and that ending touch was ah.

How much did the audio book cost you?

 

[cute.bandar]

^ its 15$ , but ahem...
The 15$ is the graphic audio version, normal audiobook would be much cheaper

 

[rhitwick]

There is audio book, then there is graphic audio book!
Am I getting too old to know such things?!!

 

[cute.bandar]

Technically its not a 'graphic audio' but 'audiodrama' . GraphicAudio is simply the company that produces the audiodrama/audiobook. And they are the best in the business by far IMO.

Am I getting too old

Considering that you are on online forum, that is not whatsapp/facebook, and filled with nerds, probably not

Thoroughly enjoyed "songs of distant earth" arthur c clarke . Some of things one learns in a sci-fi book are so amazing. Like possibilities of quantum drive, empty space isn't empty and on.

btw @axes2t2 How was Snow Crash ? Had tried it a long long time ago. FYI I adore ready player one

Didn't find the story engaging, I read it in short bursts.

Interesting premise though.

^man, you are in for a wild ride, one of the most influential cyberpunk books. I like using all the new (now old) terms and phrases invented by that book.

Very good read

Anyone read 'Ringworld' ? I started listening to its audiobook, but didn't like the narrator, reading it now and I am liking it now. Sometimes I find the 'flow' a little confusing. Not sure why..

Best books I have ever read are the three books in the "India Trilogy" by VS Naipaul.

Last 7-8 months reading a lot of bengali books.
Decreased buying and reading english novels.

Bengali books genre: Horror and supernatural.
Exploring works of veterans and total newbie FB writers.

lot of new concepts, approach. Not great always, but, even if I get to read 1 good story out of 10 is good for me.

Last english novel read "One Arranged Murder" by Chetan Bhagat.
(now don't make faces, kinda became a ritual of reading his books since "5 point someone" )

No judgements from me.
