bouche Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm closing off my audible account and I have 5 credits (books) to use before I cancel. I dig biographies and really good fiction. I've recently read (in book form) Slash, I Am Ozzy, Dirt, and the Mackenzie Phillips bio (what a facked up life!). Audio books I've gone through in the last couple of years are the ender's game series (main story), Artie Lange's bio, Paul Shaffer's bio, Shatner's bio, and a cool sci-fi series called Spin. I've got an interesting one to listen to still called Outliers. These are mostly to listen to on a treadmill or in the car. Here are the 2 I'm sold on. If you've got some suggestions, please post a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm reading Keith Richard's book "Life" and loving it. Not sure if it's available in audiobook form though. Also, the Gram Parsons biography "Twenty Thousand Roads" is a really, really interesting bio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I don't know how to navigate audible, so here's the Amazon link to Miles Davis' autobiography, which is really worth reading.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 He says "motherfucker" a LOT in that book. It's a fascinating read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Gram Parsons biography "Twenty Thousand Roads" is a really, really interesting bio. yeah, it's 24 hours! And it's not read by Keef. It's way more entertaining, and you get a better sense of the life story when they're read by the actual subject. That's why I loved the paul shaffer, william shatner, and artie lange bios. They read them, though artie had a couple other Stern show folk take on some chapters. Jim Florentine's was hilarious. He can't read well, so Howard had a bunch of outtakes on his show last year. Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one called "Miles To Go" but it's got a pretty shitty rating. Well...3-3.5 stars out of five. 4 and up is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 You might give some thought to Jon Stewart's Earth and Stephen Colbert's I Am America (and So Can You) - they're both great listens (and from Audible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 DEM, Colbert's is already in the library. Ms.Hux got it a when it came out. I haven't gotten to it yet.Have I mentioned that Audible is a really wicked service? I'm only cancelling because I cannot keep up with the credits now that Ms.Hux has a Kindle. Audiobooks are fantastic for passing the time, or making a monotonous passage of time feel less so. 1 credit = 1 book. $14.95/mth is the basic plan for 1 credit (book) per month. you can get a free trial with one free book using this linkworth a shot.

Cosmic ChrisC Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Is this available as audiobook yet? Just Kids by Patti Smith. I got this as a gift at Christmas...seems like a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 World War Z makes for a good audiobook as it is written in an interview style and they got a full cast of voice actors.Only if you like the idea of a full world zombie war, of course.

Mainly because anything goes, and they're easy to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
