dis is what i was thinkin. Plus there's other sites online that have free too. i was wonderin if audible.com had some other unique feautures tho cuz it seems pretty popular, and cuz im bombarded with their ads like all day err day

Go back and pick up where you left off. The last two books were pretty great.

I hated how one dimensional the characters are, how predictable everything was. Good guys always win and never die even when you think they did.

I really hate how they are always saying "women are like this or that and act like this or that blah blah blah" and "men are always this way or that way blah blah"

I mean rand is supposedly in a battle to save all of mankind against demons and devils and the most evil beings there are.

Yet he won't kill a female demon just because he doesn't want to hurt women, even though she is a mass murdering evil demon.

It got super annoying after a while and I was not enjoying reading it anymore.


The lenght of the series was not the issue for me, it was the fact that I was not enjoying reading it...... it was like a chore to read it, I had to make myself do it so I said screw it and just read the summary on wiki to know how it turns out and then started reading a book I enjoy once again

That's unfortunate. But I understand your opinion.

Still, the last two books aren't quite as predictable(but still kinda).

Even after you stop paying, the books your "credits" provided you are available to download to your account forever. No waiting for licensing, no checking out and checking back in.

Ever used the exchange function? I've been thinking of dumping some books but it seems to hard to find a trade.

Problem with free library audio is the low selection and long wait times. Then, when you get a book you can get bombarded with books you've waited for months for but now can't read them all in time.

Audible is expensive but it's convenient and ther isn't any competition.

I wasn't even aware it existed. I'll have to look into it when I get home.

Another series I forgot, that I shouldn't have as it was what started me reading again, was the Sword of Truth series. It was pretty good. Terry Goodkind is kinda off his rocker though.

Gonna miss being a college student when it's over. Access to a humongous library is awesome

I've been so tempted to spring for this series. $210 for the full collection isn't cheap though.

I have read it all the way thru three times. It is so lengthy and so complex that you miss and forget a ton of stuff. Like little fights, political intrigues or forshaddowing events. It truly is a story on an epic scope.

I read the first 7 or 8 wheel of time books. Then I stopped reading the female POV characters because there were boring. Then I stopped reading the books at all.
