I'm sorry to hear you were dealing with similar issues, but I'm glad at least I have someone I can commiserate with!Tony Franciosa wrote:Same.

Audible is shit. I won't complain too much because they at least recorded the book, but Audible is SHIT.

I second that. I love my Kindle as much as I hate Audible.Bloodflood wrote:Audible is shit. I won't complain too much because they at least recorded the book, but Audible is SHIT.

None so far. I assume it's a matter of legal rights. I assume Audible only got the rights for a US release, and only for an audiobook, no CD.musicaddict wrote:Still no news on a worldwide release?

Anyone who listened care to share a review or some of their feelings yet?

Re: The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (Audiobook)
I'm about 2 hours in and so far I'm really impressed with Lee's performance. I was never the biggest fan of the diary, but I'm coming to appreciate certain aspects of it through her read. She takes her time with it and elevates a lot of the material -- it lends really well to being spoken aloud.Soolsma wrote:Anyone who listened care to share a review or some of their feelings yet?
It's also really hard to get through -- it's sad material in the first place, but a lot of the pauses in the reading speak volumes.
Recipe not my own. In a coffee cup. 3 TBS flour, 2 TBS sugar, 1.5 TBS cocoa powder, .25 TSP baking powder, pinch of salt. 3 TBS milk, 1.5 TBS vegetable oil, 1 TBS peanut butter. Add and mix each set. Microwave 1 minute 10 seconds. The cup will be hot.

Nice, thank you

Hopefully it'll get a global release when the series does really well.

For those who live outside the U.S, a little bird told me that a link to the audiobook is floating around.
