Audible

the only place i've found is audiobookbay. i also recommend seeing if you can interlibrary loan audio CDs of certain things that you cannot find there. maybe check soulseek, but audiobooks seem to be rare on there.

i feel like the recognitions would be a terrible book to 'listen to,' rather than read. i couldn't find it on audiobookbay. all i could find of gaddis on soulseek is epubs. sorry bro. i recommend ILLing it.

His other books do make more sense as audio because they're mostly dialogue, but I think a competent enough narrator could make The Recognitions work.

Though if you're talking about a first reading, I agree that it's a terrible idea to listen to it in lieu of one. In general, I think audiobooks of anything more substantiative than airport fiction should only be listened to after at least one reading as dramatizations of sorts.

I mostly agree with this, but I think for certain pseudo-literary writers like Atwood or Murakami audiobooks can function reasonably well.

Well yeah, if it's only half a step removed I agree.
