I'm looking at you R. J. Davis. Pic related; mfw you start reading.

Recommendations for any good titles? I listened to A Study in Emerald by Gaiman last night, he's a very good reader.

Dostoyevsky - The Brothers K.

Chapter one: Read by a soft-spoken British girl.
Chapter two: Read by a Russian peasant who speaks entirely in consonants.
Chapter three: Read by an American male with a disgustingly camp affectation to his accent.
Chapter four: ipod embedded in the wall.

What is that 200 hours of reading? Audiobooks just go too slow for that kind of stuff, you're better off reading it yourself

shorter books and short stories tend to work the best for audiobooks IMO

THIS. Other readers taking over is annoying as fuck.
