New Day/New Deal Audiobook Sale

[koland]

Audible is having another sale, with a different audiobook marked down each day to $7.95. The first one up is Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, narrated by Jeff Woodman (normally $18.11).

Book Description
There's a reason why Life of Pi is such a huge seller around the globe - and why listeners love Jeff Woodman's performance of Yann Martel's magical tale. At once a castaway adventure and powerful fable, this Booker Prize winner makes the perfect end-of-summer thrill ride (with a Bengal tiger!) across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Pi Patel has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, everyone boards a Japanese cargo ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger.

Soon it's just Pi, the tiger, and the vast Pacific Ocean - for 227 days. Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story, so he tells a second one - more conventional, less fantastic. But is it more true?

A realistic, rousing adventure and meta-tale of survival, Life of Pi explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the transformative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character claims, to "make you believe in God."

I have vacillated on this book for a few years now. I want to read it, then I don't. Maybe an audiobook is the way to go. I did that with Shantaram and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for the tip. $8 for an audiobook is pretty much a can't say no price.

It is a very decent price. The next book is Ice Limit, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, narrated by Scott Brick, for $7.95.

Right now you can still get both books - when today's book comes out, I expect Life of Pi to go back up (could be wrong; I was surprised you could get it for two days).
