I need good books on mp3 or good podcasts to listen to

Holy crap. That isn't the version of LOTR that's actually read by Tolkien himself for BBC radio, is it?

This:

Not read by Tolkien, but still good. "BBC radio production of fully dramatized recordings of all 3 Lord of the Rings stories & the Hobbit on 17 CDs totaling over 16 hours. You get the Hobbit, the Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers, the Return of the King. Each story features a full cast performance, realistic sound effects, and amazing musical scores to give the listener an great audio experience. This is a fantastic audio gift set and would make a great gift!"

badass

how big are the files?

Good news: They're MP3s.

Bad news: They're still damned big.

FOTR total: 4 CDs worth, 157 M

TTT: 4 CDs, 161 M

ROTK: 4 CDs, 144 M

The Hobbit: 5 CDs, 127 M (don't ask me why the discrepancy, I just ripped 'em)

I have the Dark Tower series I-V as well..

I put all of the LOTR and The Hobbit MP3s on one CD. Uploading them anywhere would be a bit problematic, but I can mail them to you if the address I have is still correct.

They all fit on one CD? I want one too!

Where you been lately? Start answering either your phone or email, OK?

 

[Nyx]

theacoustician: Um, the CD didn't get sent out until today due to mail service delay (translation: My daughter was supposed to go to the post office to send it, but didn't get there until today), but it is on the way now. Sorry 'bout that, I will be discussing this matter with my daughter after I get home from work...

I have all three LOTR books ripped from audio CDs, "I, Robot" audio book (NOT from the movie!), "1984", a lot of old time radio broadcasts including War of the Worlds, Nightfall, a lot of old time detective and sci-fi stuff, but that doesn't do you a lot of good unless I can get them to you somehow. I do have DSL at home, so if there is a place I can upload them for you you're welcome to as much as I can give.

Dude, you seriously have to make that LOTR radio broadcast available someplace. Maybe post a torrent link... or post it to a newsgroup. Just lemmie know where it ends up, because I'd love to get a copy.

Using the Stephen Hawking voice, that would kick ass.

no thank you.

 

[simple]

I think someone has lent us James Patterson's Honeymoon on cd. Anyone read/listened to it?

Is that the book about the women that keeps marrying dudes and keeps killing them for the cash?

I think I read that book, it's good

edit: I'm not kidding I read that book, I don't want to ruin any of it, but the story twists more and more until the end

I'm admitting some serious ignorance here, but I have very little clue how to go about doing the torrent thing. I just recently got DSL, before that it would have been useless for me

Oh, it's allowed, just not generally approved.
