I will reread Reality Dysfunction (Night's Dawn #1). And when I say read. I mean read. No audiobooks.

This is going to take some time reading the whole series, from cover to cover. Not only do I read a little bit slowly (even though the kindle has made it a lot better), the series is a bit.... how shall I put it... long? 3books = over 5800 pages! :wtf:

So see you guys on the other side. :p

Have anybody read anything in this series?

I finished the new Harry Potter play/book earlier. Quite a nice storyline if you are a fan and I reckon it will make a great movie too.

That reminds me, I still need to read Fantastic Beasts before the movie comes out.

Eish. But listening to an audio book with a normal audio player is tough, the default speed is ssssoooooo sssslllloooooowwwwww.... that's why you need an app, to speed it up a little bit.

Depending on the book I listen to the audiobook at about 1.85x the normal speed.

Definitely need to use your phone rather. At least you'll have bookmarking and stuff. That said, I mainly use my iPod still.

Great advice never thought of this as I'm new to the audiobook scene.

So Bluetooth from phone to car audio?

Been struggling to find something good to read while finishing the hard to read book 2 in the Kharkanas Trilogy by Erikson. I then by accident stumbled on the Monster Hunter series. The bonus is the first book is free on amazon kindle and you can add audible for $2.27. Just started and it looks like an excellent pick up this.

Balls deep in Ringworld and thoroughly enjoying it. Recently finished Crashlander so I've got a bit of understanding of the known space universe.

Loved POISON CITY by Paul Crilley. It's an urban fantasy set in Durban filled with magic, paranormal creatures, occult task forces and a snarky, alcoholic dog with oodles of attitude.
