So what's the deal with Audible? It seems like I have to do equations before I can figure out if spending a credit is worth it. Some books become $7.50 if you buy the Kindle version, making the listed price of $19 or $27 irrelevant. So a credit, on the platinum club, costs $22.95 / 2, blah blah blah... this one would be $9 to buy WITH the kindle version so it doesn't make sense to spend a $10.50 credit on it. If I cancel my membership, will I still have access to the books I've purchased already? Or do I need to get a new credit each month to keep access to all my old books?

What are some classics that REALLY come to life in audio form?

Richard Poe is the king of audiobook narration. Frank Mueller is a high ranking member of the King's Court. Who else is there?

Agreed on Guidall and Kramer too Kestral posted:This is somehow the first I've heard of Richard Poe, and it led me to listen to the first few minutes of 48 Laws of Power. Great narrator, but holy poo poo that book is like The Sociopath's Handbook. It's the most read book in jail, and it is banned in some jails. I got through a quarter of it. It was pretty interesting with the historical tidbits but I think the advice is basically what you said, how to be a sociopath. Check out Poe's version of Blood Meridian. I think it's the best audiobook ever recorded. He does such an incredible job with it, sometimes I just flip on random chapters.

SurgicalOntologist posted:Just finished The Wager by David Grann, absolutely incredible audiobook. The narrator (Dion Graham) reads every sentence like it's the most loving interesting thing he's every heard and I tell you, it works. Probably helps that the writing is good. I spent the day cleaning the apartment just so I could finish it.
