spectru - 2015-03-28 10:33 AM I just discovered that my audiobook of Darwin's Radio is abridged. Puzzling - In print it is 448 pages, which seems hardly long enough to warrant abridgement. Oh well; I wanted something of novella length to hear this weekend. The narrator is Stefan Rudnicki. His rich baritone graced the narration of Card's Ender series; I still hear him as Colonel Graff. I also just discovered that we only have 30 minutes to edit a post in this forum.

I've not run into an abridged audio book yet.  Very strange.  If it was from Audible.com you can return it and get your credit.  Just give 'em a call.

On a related note, I've been listening to a lot of audio books lately and thought it might be a good theme for a reading challenge.  What do you all think about an Audio Book Reading Challenge?  I was thinking 3/6/9/12 audio book levels with optional reviews.  No other requirements.  For the reviews I think it would be good to get the scoop on the narration as well as the story.  A good reader makes a world of difference.  It would certainly play well with the other challenges.  Thoughts?
