20 hr bus trip ahead - need a good audiobook

Parallax · 01-01-2011, 02:13 PM

im greyhounding it back to thunder bay tomorrow, its a long trip, up to 20 hours. ive made the trip three times before, and it really helps to have a good audiobook to listen to, since they take about as long as the trip itself to listen to. i've already listened to frank herbert's dune, children of dune, and ender's game on my previous trips. im about to download the prince by machiavelli for this trip in case i cant find anything good...anyone got any suggestions for a good scifi audiobook?

glenn beck audiobooks are amazing

20 hours of glenn beck straight, who the fuck wouldnt want that?

srsly though i always enjoyed star wars audiobooks as a kid

the expanded universe books are pretty cool imo, theres just a ton of them and some of them are amazing and some suck.

i used to be a terry goodkind fan if ur into fantasy series, that one was really cool and had dominatrix witches in it

if i do that there's gonna be another greyhound massacre/beheading

also fantasy is ghey, do not want

i tried reading a bunch of william gibson books, but i always give up on them because they're all over the place and hard to follow, maybe they would be better on audio?

personally find both of them juvenile. listen to some non-fiction and wisen up

Yes. Gibson is actually really heady and full of philosophy. hes one of my favorites.

try out 'snow crash' its not as big and complicated as alot of his other stuff ;D
