I finally caved in to the inevitable and got myself a basic Audible account. Turns out the UK version of the site doesn't have nearly as many titles (including Spook Country! why not!!??) but I still got a free book. My choice: Joseph Heller's 1961 novel Catch 22. Makes me laugh out loud at times.
If my finances agree, I predict I'll do a LOT of reading this way this summer. Was getting mighty sick of tech and news podcasts. Any recommendations, any book at all, will be much appreciated.

You have read 1984, right? In that vein, I also liked "Down and out in Paris and London" (also Orwell).
yep, read both. liked 1984 when i read it but then i read animal farm and realized both polemics have the moral depth of a bag of rice. down and out still rocks though.
they don't have either of those three! this US-only aspect of audible is really aggravating.
