I had left last nights post far too late, hence its feebleness. Sorry about that.
I thought I would write a little bit about audio books. I have an account with audible, I pay about £7 a month for which I get a credit. The credit buys a book, which could if bought independently could cost as much as £25 or £30.
Are audio books real? Of course they are, but they are different to paper books, in that there is no tangible object beyond the playback device. In my case this is the phone.
I have just finished a series of books that I have listened to before – James P Hogans inherit the stars. He writes what reads like quite hard science fiction (that is there is a lot of tech) it is a very good series, and I enjoy Mr. Hogans books – I have a couple of others lined up. In the meantime though, I have back to Larry Niven. He’s written a series books based around his universe, a sphere of space within which human events (mostly) take place. The book of the moment isn’t of his known space universe. This time it is alien invasion – Footfall.
