Totally normal book on audible

Audible broke somehow. So now I have 1, 194 hours, and 2 minutes of book left…

    Stormlight Archive 5, Wind and Truth by Sanderson is 62h 48m on Audible. It’s the longeest in the series.

    Book 1, The Way of Kings, is the shortest at 45h 30m. So between 250 and 300 hours for the series so far.

    The Wandering Inn, by pirateaba. The books are almost all like 35+ hours and there’s like 16 of them now. They’re fantastic

    I listened to Worm, which the wiki says is 156 hours.

    Haven’t done the sequel, but it says that’s about 225 hours.

    About 60-70 hours I think. I know the author of the HP books is… a bit insane but I really loved the way Steven fry? Was narrating each character.

      Is this a crazy coincidence or are you psychic?!? The picture in the post is from the Sorcerer’s Stone! I got sick and nostalgic, and started listening to it.

      I think it’s a little shorter in reality though, compared to what audible claims here…

      You’re 100% right about Rowling, she’s gone off the deep end in a bad way.

    The Wheel of Time series has 13.1 books in it with each being between 25-40+ hours. I listened to the entire series which was ~450 hours or about 19 days.

    Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, narrated by other people. I’ve listened to it twice and am in the middle of my third listen, but it takes a while each time as it’s about 70 hours long.

        I don’t know about that. All I know is that it taught me a bunch of ways to think critically that were super interesting, and with an entertaining and often comedic storyline to boot! I haven’t been integrated into any cults yet :)

    IT by Stephen King. Around 45 hours.

    My current read is Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara. These books are 7-9 hours each, but I’m on the 13th volume. I think there are 17 or 18 audiobooks released, covering the four seasons of the anime. The anime is on indefinite hiatus until the next book series finishes. I’m not sure if they’ll do the audiobooks before the anime or wait.

    The longest one I have is King’s The Stand. 47h 47m. I wish I could find the original edition, this one has too much waffle.
