Thanks for the information about the reader–I never realized that before. I’ve read the paper book, but I’ll definitely have to check the audiobook out now. Has anyone else been using the public library for free audiobooks? You can check to see if yours has The Book Thief on audiobook at http://www.readlibre.com/thebookthief.

]]> Comment on Divergent by Veronica Roth by Trey Gordner https://booksforears.com/2012/07/22/divergent-veronica-roth/#comment-3517 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 22:08:40 +0000 http://booksforears.com/?p=2009#comment-3517 I would argue that Divergent and The Hunger Games are similar in many ways: both are dystopian YA thrillers set in a collapsed American future. Both feature strong female leads. And yet Divergent always felt more empathetic and more hopeful to me. I would argue that this stems from the author’s own worldview–Veronica Roth is an evangelical Christian.

Anyway, if you want to find Divergent (book, ebook, or audiobook) in your local library for free, check http://www.readlibre.com/divergent.

]]> Comment on Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin by Trey Gordner https://booksforears.com/2011/08/23/game-thrones-book-one-clash-kings-george-r-r-martin/#comment-3516 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 22:01:11 +0000 http://booksforears.com/?p=1674#comment-3516 I listened to all of the Game of Thrones books on audio for free from my local library. The first 3 books are superb. Unfortunately, in the 4th and 5th ones, Roy Dotrice seems to have forgotten his voicings for some of the characters. The shifts in perspective aren’t as clear, and some accents change altogether from previous books. Still, there’s no better way to experience Game of Thrones than on audio.

By the way, if you want to listed to them for free like I did, check your local library for audiobooks through http://www.readlibre.com/agameofthrones. Cheers!

]]> Comment on The Like Switch: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over by Jack Schafer, PhD and Marvin Karlins, PhD by Joseph https://booksforears.com/2015/11/04/the-like-switch-schafer-and-karlins/#comment-3436 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:15:22 +0000 http://booksforears.com/?p=2571#comment-3436 This audiobook is much more interesting than one might think at first glance. I already knew the importance of nonverbal signals (body language and so on), but the examples of what to look for in the other person, how to adapt depending on the situation (what to say, how to behave) are really informative. Without a doubt, it’s a great resource in order to improve social behavior!
