I enjoyed Hearts in Atlantis also. I really appreciate Stephen King after some less talented authors.
Great Let me know how you like each.

Yes the audio versions of both books. I may have listened to 70 books last year but these two stand out for me.

I enjoyed reading his "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" which is also off the beaten path an involve a sequence of strangely linked events. I wonder if some of his characters represent Arcetypes.
Still on a Stephen King Jag having re-visited "Insomnia" and "The Wolves of Calla" now Salems Lot. Recently read "The Mystic Arts of Removing all Signs of Death". And finally listining to "The Poisonwood Bible" for the first time.

I put this on my Audible list. I enjoyed "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" and this sounds good.

Which book William? The book I am listening to hon?"
The Curious incident of the dog in the night time. ;-)
I loved that book.
I liked the book theif also but really enjoyed "The Art of Racing in the Rain" which was told from the point of view of a dog :-).
Hi Barbara, Recorded Books LLC produced Edgar Sawtelle and the reader is Richard Poe. He also read a lot of the Dan Brown books- Good reader.
I am listening to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Highly recommended expecially if you like dogs. Last month listened to The Art of Racing in the Rain also excellent with a dog theme. Also just finished Waiter Rant which I enjoyed having been a waiter in college.
did you like it ?
I am listening to Monkeywrench. Good listen and well written.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I do not think I could be a narrator, though.
I'm listening to Marley and Me and Free Food for Millionairs. I'm at the point where Marley is getting old and I am avoiding reading the end. Free Food is very good writing and a good read.
I really enjoyed Anansi Boys and American Gods. I could not really get into the other Gaiman audio books.
Scott Brick was the first to come to mind. He puts too much emotion/energy into it. I think it's almost always a mistake for the author to narrate his own work. A good narrator can make good writing even better.
I am currenly on a Michael Connelly Jag and am finishing The Last Coyote. I recently finished Duma Key which was a great listen.
no activation code needed. This may be a more basic version but you can rip to one file and choose the bitrate and format for the audio file. Two other handy programs are:
1. Easy CD converter (http://www.poikosoft.com)
2. Shaungs Audio Joiner
Both of these are free and available from Download.com
I like the Cowan software as it does both operations at the same time.
