coyo7e posted:Quite good, and it was way easier to burn a few credits to get the entire series on audible, than it was to buy them, I mean the paperbacks are 12-15 bucks each if you can find them. I really preferred the books to the movies, although I read them first. A lot of the scenes in the movie felt like scenes from the book taken out of context, and that really bothered me. I never considered picking up the audiobooks but it might be worth it. Who reads them?

XBenedict posted:Definitely the Stephen Fry narration. Yeah the Stephen Fry narration is amazing and you can get the entire set for one audible credit which is like 70 hours of listening right there.

Mr Owl posted:The new book from Andy Weir (of the Martian) is out (called Project Hail Mary) and the audiobook is excellent Yeah I haven't really enjoyed any of his stuff from The Martian but this one I enjoyed quite a bit. It's pretty silly at times but in a mostly enjoyable way and the big twist near the end actually did catch me off guard.

Any good adventure stories at all? Something engaging that isn't in the "and now everyone is dead" genre?

Are there any good audiobook stories in the vein of something like Carl but actually finished?

I tried listening to Expanse and got to the book where there is a completely hackneyed "we're going to FRAME the PROTAGONIST so EVERYONE HATES HIM" plotline and dropped it right there. Maybe it gets better but I wasn't in the mood to deal with a book of everyone being a moron and believing an obvious lie for cheap drama.

Yeah, I will freely admit, I almost turned off DCC in the first hour because "Oh loving lord it's about some stupid Manly fuckhead with an Evil Slut Girlfriend getting magic powers and going to an isekai world" gave me hives, and if not for the excellent work of the reader there is no way I would have gotten far enough into it to actually like it.

NikkolasKing posted:I've been getting into Marvel Comics as of late and I had no idea that, not only are there many Marvel prose stories and novelizations of important comic storylines, many of those have been turned into audiobooks. I was curious if anyone here has tried any? If not, maybe you'll have some interest. I'm getting sucked into a rabbit hole myself. I remember reading and liking Time's Arrow as a kid but I have no idea if it'd hold up now.
