 suburbanvampire | I'm almost done with Roadkill by Dennis E. Taylor. I am listening to the audiobook version, and literally didn't know anything about it going in other than "it's from the Bob-i-verse writer and it's Ray Porter, one of the greats at narration" | 21:32:48 |
| suburbanvampire | not knowing anything about it really made this a fun listen. The vibe is kinda like "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, but if it dealt with sci-fi instead of history" | 21:33:27 |
| suburbanvampire | also, Ray Porter's reading of Sheldon the put upon hyper intelligent AI that sounds like a stuffy British school headmaster is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while 🙂 | 21:34:05 |

 kaos3000 | Roadkill is fun! If you haven't listened to the Quantum Earth series or The Singularity Trap, I suggest you add them to your list. Taylor is one of my top favorite authors. Have yet to be disappointed. | 17:24:10 |

 itzexor | my favorite ray porter quote is probably from one of the runelords books | 03:41:27 |
| itzexor | i have only listened to him in a few of those books, but i don't see how it could be topped | 03:41:43 |
| suburbanvampire | he seems like the kind of guy who elevates the material he performs, from all the stuff I've heard him do | 03:43:05 |
| suburbanvampire | I think he was one of the first narrators where I was like Googling who did an audiobook because of how kick ass the performance was | 03:43:32 |
| suburbanvampire | (which would be his reading of Project: Hail Mary) | 03:43:50 |
| itzexor | this scene was like, a girl is able to view the thoughts/memories of a beast and she's in a memory of the thing communicating using pheromones or something | 03:48:02 |
| itzexor | i can't remember the exact words but it was like "the thing excreted words from its anus, and avarine scuttled closer to taste them" | 03:48:03 |
| itzexor | it's just like, what the fuck lol | 03:48:06 |
| itzexor | i don't remember this part actually, but i did find this quote when trying to search for that one | 03:48:55 |
| itzexor | A monstrosity appeared among the shadows, a reaver larger and more bloated than any fell mage he had ever encountered. Her feet clacked and her swollen belly groaned as she slid across the floor. A loud hissing followed as she scrabbled forward, air streaming from her vast anus.
The reek was magnificent. Gaborn could smell musty endowments, like putrid fat and rotten cabbages and moldy hair, so thick in the air that it choked him.
| 03:48:58 |
| itzexor | that was from book 4 so i was probably numb to the weirdness by then | 03:49:08 |
 aurokon. | We don't link to torrent sites here. | 05:32:01 |
 nyxholas | Promoting piracy is against the Discord TOS, and ABS isn't associated with promoting piracy. Discussions around the technology itself are fine | 07:53:29 |
| aurokon. | lol | 13:41:39 |

 slyfox_d | What are some of your favourite full-cast books? | 20:40:33 |
| slyfox_d | * What are some of your favourite full-cast books? Other than LOTR. | 20:40:41 |
 .borts | do Graphic Audio count? or do you explicitly mean full-cast-no-sound-effects? | 20:41:59 |
| .borts | the BBC Full Cast productions of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and Neverwhere were pretty good listens | 20:43:13 |
| slyfox_d | Sure, anything. | 20:44:52 |
