    Hey, here to inform you and anyone else reading of audiobookbay.fi

    You can search for many audiobooks on there and then grab the infohash on the book page and plug it into pretty much any torrenting program. Reminder to use a VPN to hide your real IP if you're in a place where people give a shit.

    Spend those credits on smaller authors and then consider getting some of the other stuff I recommend below from ABB as well.

    If you're looking for a player on Android I use Voice Audiobook Player (FOSS app- version on Google Play) for m4b/m4a/mp3 files.

    Stuff I've enjoyed recently (mostly sci-fi/fantasy):

    • Neuromancer
    • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
    • The Expanse Series
    • Graphic Audio performances of Mistborn eras 1 and 2
    • Graphic Audio performance of White Sands
    • Circe
    • The Lies of Locke Lamora
    • Gardens of the Moon
    • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    Things on my to-read/listen list:

    • Dune
    • Earthsea
    • Binti
    • Artemis
    • Project Hail Mary

    Bullshit Jobs and The End of Policing should both be on audible, both very interesting books on modern theory

    I really liked the audiobooks for Ender's Game and it's sequels. They do a thing where they use a different reader for each perspective rather than for each character, it's very good. Also has one of the most interesting perspectives on alien life in sci-fi.

    A decent amount of the entry level theory already has good audiobooks on the audible socialism YouTube channel. I know Blackshirts and Reds is on audible now though.

    I'm listening to I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jenette MyCurdy. It is a memoir about growing up as a child actor. I 'm one third through and its quite good.
