Has anyone here read Stephen Unwin's The Probability of God? I've just finished it, and I've love to discuss it.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've read it, Am-Chou, but it was a while ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone here tried audible.com? I'm not listening to as much music, what with the headaches, so spoken word is becoming more appealing.
I have some stuff that I ripped off my own CDs, and some MP3 recordings of radio broadcasts, and an wondering about branching out.
I can get pretty cheap books on DVD from a used bookstore near me, but the selection is erratic, and I still have to, you know, do work.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I haven't used it, but double check with the library. We have some libraries that let you download audio books - They stay 'good' for 7 to 14 days. you just need a library card.

Oh, ptooey. They support neither Macs nor iPods. Which would restrict me to listening to them off my main computer.
Less attractive.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I believe iTunes has some audiobooks.
I'm not sure that Audible supports Macs/iPods either. Truly it is damn annoying.

They have some gizmos that are iTunes/iPod related, but I'm way too out of it right now to make head or tail of it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I believe iTunes has some audiobooks.
They're hella expensive, though.
