Anyone fed up with Audiobooks?

I have a love/hate relationship with them for sure. I think when it's the author reading their own book, it's usually awesome, but otherwise it can be pretty tough. I don't think I ever returned a book due to content, it was all from unbearable narrators.

I use the Libby app and download from my local library in town. It also lets you download from any participating library in the US for free.

John Grisham is the world’s worst author-narrators.

David McCullough is the best. Listen to His Wright Brothers book. Phenomenal.

The narrator can make or break the book but it helps to have quality books and subjects you're into.
Thanks for the heads up on returning and getting a credit back.

There is a new book that just came put called "SOG Code name Dynamite" by Dick Thompson. It's the first book of a 2 book series about his experience in SOG.

I believe it will be on audio book this fall. I wouldn't want to miss it.

Old thread….but worth mentioning in case you don’t know….that free ‘ Libby’ app through the public library is great Once you learn to navigate it.

This is the absolute best audio book I’ve listened to in the past few years. Usually run through 2-3 per month.

These links are for the same book titled 2034, written by an Admiral and Ex-NATO armed forces commander. Fiction book about hypothetical WW3 situation but based on his knowledge and experience in the world military theater. The narrator is awesome and this was the first book that had separate voice actors. If you listen to the book you’ll understand why the actors are needed.
