But these books were handpicked. It says so in their promo. Surely Audible knows what's best for us.

Therein lies the problem. They should have picked them with their ears and not their hands.

...but what's best for Audible is what's best for you! I don't understand the problem.

I have had a horrible time getting to that site since the sale began. Is anyone else having a problem?

Good tip I did not know that

As a matter of fact, I had forgotten it. I appreciate your reminder.

Tantor's sale selection frankly had become, well, stale. It seemed like all that they ever had was the same audiobooks as they had had in previous sales. I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few new (and good!) ones, however, in this sale.

I've grabbed a couple already. Thanks to you, I paid only $10 for the two. At Audible they would have cost me around $50 (of course, I would never, ever buy them at that cost. ha).

I'm sure that there are more that I would like to have. I hope that I can look over the selection more before the stroke of midnight tonight. If not, there's always the next sale . . . .

PRH (also known to some as the Randy Penguin) has updated their promo site (TryAudiobooks). As a part of their rather significant changes to the look of the site they have added a new freebie. If you are interested in "The Double Bind" by Chris Bohjalian, you can get it for free after signing up for their mailing list (which you have probably already joined a dozen times over to get their freebies - what's one more time among friends?). They don't usually change their freebies rapid fire, but if you're interested I wouldn't wait long.

Edit: For some this might be a deal-killer - it looks like this may be an abridged version. 6.5/11.5 hours.
FYI, per the PRH Facebook page, this will be available until December 31. If you're interested there isn't much time left.

Comments:
Book Description (Amazon):
Kurt Vonnegut presents in Fates Worse than Deatha veritable cornucopia of Vonnegut's thought on what could best be summed up as perhaps "anti-theology", a manifesto for atheism that details Vonnegut's drift from conventional religion, even a tract evidencing belief in the divine held within each individual self; the Deity within each individual person present in a universe that otherwise lacks any real order.

Vonnegut was never a real optimist and with just cause: he had an incredibly difficult life (he had been a prisoner of war from which he drew the title for his book Slaughterhouse-Five) and suffered from failing health, which only showed him his own mortality even more than he already knew it. Still, most readers find that in the body of Vonnegut's work there is still a glimmer of desperate hope. Vonnegut's continued search for meaning surely counts for a great deal as he balances hope and despair.

Scholars and fans can read about Vonnegut's experiences during World War II and the after-effect he felt it had on him. His religious (or anti-religious) ramblings and notations are interesting and, by turns, funny and perceptive. The humor may be dark, but that does not make it any the less funny.

The year is done and time to restart the thread. I'd like to thank everyone for their participation; especially these four for the deals they've posted: skinmaan, GtrsRGr8, Catlady and koland.

Happy New Year

Thanks. Likewise, I want to thank you, for all of the administrative- and news-gathering type of work that you do that makes this thread so great!

Happy New Year wishes to you! May your year be filled with lots of delicious bananas.
