Book Geeks: Living Out Loud
Okay, the subtitle of this post should really be "Reading Out Loud" but that just didn't have the same ring to it.
Anyway, I came across this audio book website, Audio Book Geek, that has a huge selection of books and all of the ones that I looked at were unabridged, which is amazing. One of my favourite books on tape that I used to have was "Decider" by Dick Francis. Unfortunately: (a) it was abridged and left out some of the scenes that I thought were the best bits of character development, and (b) my tape deck eventually ate the tape because I listened to it so much. (I have dreadful insomnia and listen to an audio book every night to help me fall asleep.)
So this particular site offers unabridged books in digital form that you can buy or even just rent (what a cool idea). And at the moment, you can take advantage of their special offer of free downloadable audio books! Now excuse me while I go decide which books I want (other than "Decider" of course).
