Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Audio Books

Having an hour commute each way each day means I listen to a lot of audiobooks. And by books, I mean on my iPhone hooked into my car's USB port.... Anyway, I'm looking for more. It's hard to find a good narrator and a good book both. The narrator on A Feast for Crows was so slow I almost returned it. His reading was horrible. The book wasn't much better. Neil Gaiman writes some great stories and I just finished The Graveyard Book and Fragile Things. Fragile things is a collection of short stories with some of them being excellent and others merely "meh." The Graveyard book was interesting, slow at points but overall satisfying. What really makes these books is Gaiman's narration. One of the best I've ever heard. So, I'm looking for suggestions if anyone else uses their long commute to listen. In related topics - What is up with Audible.com? I use them for all my books but I wonder about the reviews. The Graveyard audiobook has almost 5000 reviews, while the print version from Amazon has 439. I HIGHLY doubt that the audiobook really has ten times the amount of reviews the hard cover, paperback, and Kindle version does.
