Yes i use audible on my phone. I like it. In addition to books, there are also quite a few free things - books and channels. I don't find it too expensive because i mostly use it to listen to things over and over as background at work, or while doing other things.

I also love neil gaiman's books. Neverwhere is one of my favorites of his.

Hmm... I own his book American Gods when I went on a binge buying books once. Judging by my small library, I've done that many times. lol I looked up Neverwhere and it seems like it was a BBC tv show for awhile. hmmm, I wonder how well those turned out. Did you see them?

Blue_Bird · Aug 31, 2017 at 12:40 PM

I love Neil gaimans books. My favorite is the graveyard book

Blue_Bird · Aug 31, 2017 at 12:41 PM

I want to read Norse Mythology by him but its always checked out at the library

Gr3tta_0 · Sep 01, 2017 at 10:30 AM

@DayTripper no, i didn't see the show.

I'm compiling a list of books I want to read, after I'm finished re-reading the HP series.

Anyone read World War Z ? I bought it several years ago. I know it became a movie. I haven't watched the movie or gotten around to reading the book yet but I will soon.

I have Edgar Allen Poe's completed works, I'd like to get into that. Maybe read a story from it each day

Sep 02, 2017 at 04:23 PM

Blue bird, Show us the list! Show us the list! Show us the list!

I'm reading Thomas Reid's An Inquiry in the Human Mind ont he Principles of Common Sense right now. It's from the 18th century. Good philosophy.

I haven't read World War Z. I saw the movie with Brad Pitt, which I thought was great as far as zombie movies go.

After I'm done reading this Ill read Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations and Wittgenstein's Philoosphy of Psychology by Malcom Budd, but I wont get to those for a good while. I plan on doing a dialogue on Each philosopher like I did in my book. Ill tuck it away in my book that will never go published.

After I'm done with those two philosophers Ill give up hardcore philosophy for awhile to work on my new book project titled Torch. It's fiction, Ender's Game meets Matrix.

This is a book that I have mentioned a couple of times during the sz chat.

Blue_Bird · Sep 04, 2017 at 12:24 PM

So far I have a few on my list:

World War Z
Edgar Allen Poes complete works
Pride and prejudice
And the Lord of the Rings trilogy (I have the hobbit which I've read, my mom bought it for me several years ago so I'll probably re-read it sometime and then start on the trilogy

I read the amazon intro. It looks... sincere. An interesting, wholistic, communal approach to it. I hope it's helpful for those to work given their illness. What makes you want to read this in particular?
