Like, this question is constantly asked in every book club thread. Why don't we start just making our own if they aren't available?

      Honestly, IDK. We might need to compile a list of books that don't have an easily available audiobook on the perusall (or otherwise) before we really sink our teeth in. Seems like Bullshit Jobs has an audiobook, so not that.

          I'm about to torrent Bullshit Jobs and upload it to mega or something so that we have it. Don't spend your effort. Let's focus on something that hasn't been recorded yet. Are you able to help me identify the books on the perusall that don't have audiobooks readily available before we start?

          There isn't, but we can probably find a way to torrent the ones that have one and make them available in a separate directory. Perusall has limits unfortunately.

              https://serbianforum.org/threads/bullshit-jobs-a-theory-audiobook.778271/ Might be legit, download at your own risk.

                Very sketchy indeed....I'll risk my pc and report back for other folks interested.

                EDIT: That site didn't work for me, I wouldn't recommend it. I found a working magnet link though if anyone wants it dm me I guess? Idk how best to share it lol

        Most of Graeber has audiobooks, as with Klein, Harvey, and I do a lot of manual labor and adhd makes it hard to read books otherwise so audiobooks are my jam and I stick to the private torrents.

        Here are some lefty titles I’ve looked for audiobooks and haven’t found:

        • The Long 20th century by Arrighi
        • Carbon Democracy by Timothy Mitchell
        • The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins
        • Democracy at Work by Richard Wolff
        • Most Michael Parenti

        Will edit this with more as I think of them or find my list of epubs
