Audio reads from May: audiobooks
http://audiobooks.livejournal.com/1109.html
Audio reads from May. Red Mars - Kim Stanley Robinson (unabridged). A wonderful book, first in a trilogy that is based on a Mars being terraformed. Perhaps more politics than I would prefer, but the science of the terraforming and some of the philosophy was very interesting. 27 hours or so! My library has all 3 books, and I'll get the second one, but not too soon. Rock of Ages - Stephen Jay Gould (unabridged). Best of Asimov's 2002 (unabridged) Four short stories:. Edge of Danger - Jack Higgins. More esp...

December's audio listens (yes, late indeed). Season in Hell (Jack Higgins) (abridged). Read by David McCallum. A somewhat interesting thriller set in recent Britain, hard to explain without giving too much away. Snow White and the Eleven Dwarfs (Edward D Hoch) and Of the Fog (Ed Gorman) (unabridged short stories). A series of short stories, playing with old fairy tales and the like. Ok, no better. X-Files: Ruins (Kevin Anderson) (abridged). Eragon (Christopher Paolini) (unabridged). Read by the author...

The Curse of Chalion (Lois Master Bujold) (unabridged). A wonderful book. Cazaril, a down-on-his-luck kinght, finds a job with an old friend, acting as tutor and secretary for royesse (princess) Iselle and her lady-in-waiting (Bertriz). He gets drawn in to try to throw off the curse her family has been under for generations. I loved this book, and immediately went back to Audible.com and picked up the second book in the series.

LEGO difference engine, ice sculpture Serenity, and good plates. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (J.K. Rowling) (unabridged). First, I love the way Jim Dale reads the Harry Potter books. I know all of you were discussing this book months ago, so I'll just say that, while Harry is a bit of a prat, I am very interested in seeing where Rowling takes the next (and final) book. Highly recommended. Out of the Silent Planet (CS Lewis) (unabridged). Spring Fever (Dick Francis) (unabridged short stories).

VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987 (Bob Woodward) (abridged)…: audiobooks
http://audiobooks.livejournal.com/2563.html
VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987 (Bob Woodward). Bullet for a Star (Stuart Kaminsky). Another of the Toby Peters books, based in WWII-era LA, this one guest stars Errol Flynn as a victim of blackmail. Toby tries to ease him out of the problem, but of course, such things can't go smoothly. As always, I love this series. The Devil Met a Lady (Stuart Kaminsky). Another entry of the series, this time, Toby is rescuing Bette Davis. The Destroyer: Bamboo Dragon (Murphy and Sapir). An unlikely story o...

http://audiobooks.livejournal.com/4395.html
Prince Caspian (CS Lewis) (unabridged). I'm re-reading (listening) to the Chronicles of Narnia series. The children get pulled back into Narnia at the end of their summer trip to the country - but time goes much slower here than in Narnia, and a very long time has passed in Narnia in the meantime. In the Frame (Dick Francis) (unabridged). Honus Wagner (Dennis and Jeanne Burke DeValeria) (unabridged). A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 7: The Vile Village (unabridged). The orphans are now adopted out to...

http://audiobooks.livejournal.com/2145.html
The Precipice (Ben Bova) (unabridged). The Earth is collapsing (economically and ecologically), and the protagonist is trying to get to the Asteroid Belt to get resources to save humanity. Pretty good - I'll read the next book at some point. The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) (unabridged). Catching up on classics. Some good writing, and although one can't really use Wilde to support ethical/moral arguments with much effect, he did make some interesting suggestions. Special Ops type stuff, and a fun...

Audiobooks from July: audiobooks
http://audiobooks.livejournal.com/1969.html
Here are the audiobooks I listened to in the month of July. Octopussy, The Living Daylights, and The Property of a Lady (Ian Fleming) (unabridged). These are actual Ian Fleming books, and are very different from the movies (although the setting to The Living Daylights will look familiar). The Better To Eat You With (3 short stories, unabridged). Short stories vaguely based on the ideas from Grimms' Faerie Tales and the like. The Last Suppers (Diane Mott Davidson) (abridged). Post a new comment.
