Good Deal
Best deal I’ve found in forever: Cracker Barrel’s audiobook version of Redbox.
You can rent audiobooks from any Cracker Barrel and return them to any Cracker Barrel. There’s a lot of Cracker Barrels around, so this is, you know, fairly easy.
$3.50 a week. That’s not bad. That’s pretty darn good, actually. The selection is decidedly not pretty darn good. But for $3.50 a week, it’s still a good deal.
Especially when the road trip is getting really long and the readers on Librivox are also not pretty darn good.
I’ve just started listening to Rowling’s A Casual Vacancy. Will let you know.
Have you listened to any good audiobooks lately?

Well don’t take your road trip out this way because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Cracker Barrel restaurant. (I only know about them from east coast friends mentioning them.)
I have the entire Narnia series on CD. It was done by Focus on the Family, an organization that I, um, do not care that much for, let’s say. I did not know that when I bought it. But, nevertheless, they are really well done (except for the little plugs for Focus on the Family
.) I’ve listened to them again and again, and I just finished listening to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
I picked it up on sale – 19 CDs for $15. Quite the deal.
I haven’t heard that version yet, DMM.
HarperCollins Audio put out the series with a collection of the most fabulous readers. I, too, listen to them again and again. Wish I had them with me!
