I am an avid audio book listener.  Lately I am heavily into Podcast Novels.  Try www.podiobooks.com  All free to download and a great range.  You can d/l them through iTunes. I recommend 7th Son by JC Hutchins (a bit sci-fi but great story).

What I usually do is find an audio CD on amazon and then see if iTunes or Audible has it and get them there.

Novelists that have great audio stuff include Lee Child (the best thriller writer out there) and most of Stephen Fry's stuff.  Then there's your standard guys like Dick Francis, Tom Clancy, James Patterson, John le Carre, etc.

Start with the Lee Child - Killing Floor and then get them in chronological order.  They are amazing.

Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.

I've got Dan Browns books on mp3 and also the Harry Potter series - haven't listened to them yet though.  Let me know if you want a copy.


Do you have all Browns books Graham?

Think so, he has 4 right?

I quite liked the idea of Digital Fortress but to be honest, once I'd read Da Vinci Code and then Angels and Demons, they go downhill for me.  Also, they are a bit precitable (all four) they all have the same basic plot imo, just a different topic.  They are enjoyable though, I did enjoy them all.

It's ok, the main problem with it are is rediculously unbelievable scenarios and technology.
Isn't it the book with a plane that can fly from America to Switzerland in an hour? Cheesy

I do get confused at times, i read around 2 books a week when i'm on afternoons.
Yet i can read the first sentence of a book and know if i've read it.

I quite like Jeffry Deaver (sp?) at the moment.

Can i just pick up any of his work or is there recurring characters that I'll need background on?

Just read a review of Cold Moon and it sounds good but get the impression of exsisting characters.
