So after many many months I have finished my listen of all the Terry Pratchett Discworld books in order. Had read a couple before but not the series and the newish penguin audiobooks are great. Such good company as I potter around cooking and stuff. Such incredible storytelling and characters.
Now I am a bit lost. What should I listen to next? Any good long form podcasts or audio series out there? Non fiction is fine but not current affairs. I get enough news and try to limit the doom....I currently have an audible account but might ditch the subscription now this big listen is done....
If you haven't read April Fool's Day by Bryce Courteney that's a really good read. It is a tribute to his son who died of AIDS. It's sad but it's very well written.
On yes I have read that. Its heart wrenching but very good.
Another one I can think is; I can jump puddles by Alan Marshall.
That one was interesting. I remember him hiding what happened on the pony ride to school
Oh man that book was painful
