Kate | 3525 comments I listened to the dramatization of Here There be Tygers Bradbury Thirteen Series, Episode 5 by Ray Bradbury
I sort of enjoyed it but found the 'acting' a bit over the top which ruined the story.

Michael Hicks (michaelpatrickhicks) | 989 comments I started listening to Stephen King's IT last week, and holy cow is Steven Weber ever an awesome narrator. Simply fantastic.

Oh my gosh, I LOVED that audio so much! I hope you enjoy it too, Michael! :)

I'm almost finished listening to The Wright Brothers, narrated by the author himself. I am enjoying it. This author has a way of writing non-fiction that makes it sound like fiction. (He also wrote John Adams, which was made into an HBO mini-series.)

I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far, Michael. Can't you just see Peter Dinklage playing Shorty?

Tom | 340 comments Listening to Welcome to Dead House by R.L. Stine. found a bunch on Hoopla.

Randy | 103 comments I'm about 70% through Dark Matter by Michelle Paver Dark Matter by Michelle Paver , it took a little while for me to get into it but I'm hooked now. Very creepy atmosphere. If I really imagine what it would be like to be the main character, it really freaks me out haha


message 567: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I've heard great things about that book, Randy! I hope you continue to enjoy it. :)

I'm listening to Missoula Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by Jon Krakauer which is about horror of a different kind.

The author made a simple post in the ground horrifying, causing the main character to compulsively check to see if it had moved. The book has atmosphere to spare.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.

A curious question: Is shelving audiobooks one has listened to as "read" considered to be cheating?


message 578: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I don't think so.


message 579: by Mike (new)

Mike Wallace | -85 comments I've started Little Girls by Ronald Malfi. This is my first Malfi Novel. I've read a lot good things about his books so I'm hoping for a winner.

Char | 17498 comments I'm listening to InterWorld. I didn't realize it was a YA title when I downloaded it from the library, but I'm enjoying it just the same.


message 582: by Michael (new)

Michael (mikedecshop) | 1479 comments just finished Little Girls gave it 3 stars. It held my interest but I thought it was just so so. I felt it was pretty transparent I figured it out about halfway thru.

It's a strong start. I'm interested to see how a solitary character carries ten hours of audio. Assuming no one else pops up?

Excellent book , I couldn't help but picture Matt Damon as the title character. Finish it before the movie comes out ! Duct tape can fix just about anything..
