audiobooks are fucking expensive. I have a $25 itunes gift card and there's no music I want, and there's no reason I would buy movies from iTunes, and I don't watch TV, so I was looking at audiobooks.

they're like $14! what the dick? who pays for this? that's like paying $20 for a CD on iTunes, and you don't even get the actual CD and shit. I can order books on half.com for under $4, usually.

so fuck that. I'll read myself a book. assholes.

I've actually never listened to an audio book, reading the book myself just seems more enjoyable.  But $14 is rather silly.

You already jailbroke your iPhone so I'm guessing you don't want to pay for any apps.

You can pirate movies so hmm.

even though im a musician im a more visual learner. often times i have to reread what i read like right after i read it, and on the escuchamos portion of spanish tests i always need my teacher to play it twice because i miss some of the questions the first time around. :(

Audiobooks are for faggots.
Not really. They have their place. They are kinda dumb if you can just read the book instead, but they're great if you're making a long car trip or if you're dyslexic.  Are you saying dyslexic people are faggots?

Spend it on some songs by the Dropkick Murphys and Cake


yeah like I haven't heard either of those before

I don't like audiobooks very much because the narrator's voice just gives the book a certain feeling, for better or worse, much like if you watch a movie and then read the book and the characters are described differently than in the movie but you can't get the movie out of your head. also if I listen to them for more than like 10 minutes I just stop paying attention or think about something else or fall asleep.

Audiobooks are pretty lame if you ask me. If you can read a book, read it. But like Houdini said, not everyone can easily read a book normally, so the ridiculous little things do have their place.
