Or do audiobooks have ratings?<br /><br />Speaking of short stories - I also have a few audios of NPR's RabbitEars Radio, a series of classical short stories for kids (e.g., Kipling's story of how the elephant got his trunk read by Jack Nicolson).ceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228169390182512752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-81978342140281394442009-06-10T22:00:41.630-05:002009-06-10T22:00:41.630-05:00Christine - Only three full audios I've done a...Christine - Only three full audios I've done are Ender's Game, Sailing to Byzantium, and Blood of Ambrose. I love short stories on audio though. Harlan Ellison's short stories particularly good. Oh, and I listened to tons of Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas, which are wildly uneven, but did give a sense of what Paul McGann would have done with a longer time in the role.<br /><br />Joel - I'm game if Audible is.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-60979011102388618332009-06-10T21:47:39.195-05:002009-06-10T21:47:39.195-05:00I dare you do try and do one for Cassandra Kresnov...I dare you do try and do one for Cassandra Kresnov!

The experience just isn't the same as reading the book. The only audio things I listen to are BBC radio adaptations of Hercules Pierot, Miss Marples, & Rumpole. Sherlock Holmes (I have the 40-dvd version). The Shadow. Poe by Basil Rathbone & Vince Price. Garrison Keillor Lake Wobegon & Prairie Home Companion.<br /><br />On a side note, Lou, I am about 100 pages into Fitzpatrick's War and love it!ceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228169390182512752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-26682395131622727842009-06-09T14:55:34.260-05:002009-06-09T14:55:34.260-05:00There are actually audio versions of quite a few P...There are actually audio versions of quite a few Pyr books now - Resnick's Starship and Stalking series, Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity series, Kay Kenyon's Entire and the Rose series, Sturges' Midwinter...

As far as I'm concerned, every Pyr book should have an audio adaptation. I'm about to participate in an SF book club and I've been picked to select a book first. Wouldn't you know it, the book I'm likely to pick (Crystal Rain) doesn't have an audio version. Blood of Ambrose is on my Audible wish list.Scott D.
