I always point out the format if it isn't an ebook because a lot of people use this thread for ideas of what to read next. Not all audiobooks are in ebook format.

I love audiobooks as well as ebooks. I listen to audiobooks in the car every day. I like to have the first book of a series in audiobook and finish a series as ebooks. The audiobooks helps me set the tone and accents. For example; I read all the Stephanie Plum ebooks now with a New Jersey accent and all the Dave Robicheaux novels with a heavy cajun accent. The readers for both of those series are excellent.

Oooh, I'll have to add them to my to-read list! Thanks! My kids particularly love the ones produced by Full Cast Audio but we love them all. I use Good Reads to keep track of my (and our) books and they always want to tell me how to rate them.

Finally finished the French book I was reading on holy wars and crusades. It was not an exciting read and I had some small doubts on the author's agenda, as he sometimes seemed to be trying to mix contemporary politics and ethics with an objective historical narration. But an interesting read nevertheless. I am now curious about crusades, a subject that had never particularly interested me, and thinking of finding other books on that subject.

Still reading Ulysses. I have now switched to a version found on MR, after buying two versions, one e-book and one p-book. The p-book has some interesting notes but the type is hard to read and it's much too heavy to carry about on the subway. The commercial e-book has no footnotes, good formatting but too many OCR errors for comfort. So far the MR version seems to have the best quality. But of course the most important thing is the book itself, and I'm still enjoying it

The earlier discussion of this book intrigued me and I picked up the MR copy just yesterday. Though I've known of it's existence, I've never considered reading before. We'll see how it goes.

I'm reading Crusader's Cross by James Lee Burke. Great writer, and this isn't even his best. This guy's proof that some of the best writers -- period -- are writing in the crime/mystery genre.

I'm reading the founding by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles it is the first in a series that follows British history this one is set during the war of the roses. It is very good so far.

I'm reading "The Way of Kings". It's a long one. I like it so far (I'm about 200 pages in), but I wonder if the story will start to drag, given its length.
