I just took advantage of their free download offer and will listen to Fire and Fury (the new book about Trump) when travelling through Southeast Asia next week.

The Jack Reacher series (Lee Child) is good.

I know it's a free trial but they Seem to be over priced?.

If you have a 3 hour commute then monthly subscription with top ups brings the price right down.

I didn't have you down as being a fan of fiction, you seem likes very factual person to me :biggrin:

The nice thing about S.E. Asia is that life is lived out on the streets, so there is always something to see or do. I couldn't imagine going there to listen to an audio book!

Why not ask them to pay you to listen to an audiobook?

[lennybluebird]

Now that's a good idea....lol.

I almost bought this earlier.
I listened to the author describing where he got his info from and thought it sounded like it was going to be a load of made up junk .
So I didnt.

I never told you that I read that on your recommendation. It was extremely interesting, if a little dogmatic. Does it fit your world view perfectly? It definitely doesn't mine, but still interesting to take in a different perspective. Definitely good enough to want to read the follow up about the future of us Homo Deus. Have you read that yet?

Far from a perfect fit, but there are parts that are enlightening, and it's useful to be able to recognise them when they appear in daily life. Regarding the follow up I haven't read it yet, but personally I don't think it is a good idea to have a world controlled by machines.
