Audible is having a sale. What should I get?

[Anonymous]

I read just about anything except maybe science fiction. Loved Pachinko, Cutting for Stone, A Fine Balance, to name a few.

Stephen King’s 11/22/63 is an excellent audiobook.

OP here, read it, and completely agree!

What sale? I don't see it.

I got an email about a sitewide sale (up to 85% off).

I really like Audible books that are autobiographies - Katie Couric's and Andre Agassi's are both quite good. The Biggest Bluff by Maria Konnikova is a fun one, too. And Eat a Peach, by David Chang.

Audible is terrible for authors fwiw— they are basically a consignment storefront that takes 80% of revenue.

Well, they are free to not have their books on there then. Until then I plan to do listen to books on my long commutes.

Thank you. I will check them out.

I bought a truly disgusting number of trashy sci fi novels. Take pity on your wallet, OP. Don’t even look.

I remember the bad old days of $60 books on tape that were 7 CDs. If authors want to create a storefront with reasonably priced downloads available on demand that sync across all of my devices, I'll be happy to switch.

Educated by Tara Westover worked well on audio.
Harry Potter is fantastic if you don't already have those.

Also try the Libby app (using your library card). They don't have everything (though you can request books they don't yet have), but it's free and you just as easy to stream through your phone. Great for commutes and longer car trips!!
