Re: Current book being read/just finished
thread title needs to be clarified (like butter, amirite?) while "read" implies no audio, just finished lends to open-endedness in this regard.Admin wrote:Are audiobooks even allowed in this thread?! I vote no.

Re: Current book being read/just finished
Do they have one guy reading and does he do voices for all the characters or are there multiple readers for all the characters? I've always wondered this about audiobooks?canaan wrote:im rocking the game of thrones on audiobook in the car...it is unreal how close they got the show to mirror the book.

Re: Current book being read/just finished
let kenny the kangaroo know what MWB thought about the big short. if it tought kenny the kangaroo anythings, its that trusting money with other people is probably bad idea. kenny the kangaroo does not know if kenny the kangaroo will ever make a lot of money in the stock market, but kenny the kangaroo would rather rely on kenny the kangaroo instead of some dope collecting a paycheck recommending some run of the mill mutual fund with some high sales load and so forth.MWB wrote:About to start this.
