Loving The Drawing of the Three so far. Just met #2.

Finished The Drawing of the Three. Loved it - it was better than the first one, and I'm looking forward to the next one next month.
Started up Pandor's Star, which as I said I have read before but not listened to. Enjoying it, as I expected.
I definitely find that I get something different out of a book listening vs. reading. I really noticed it with the Wheel of Time books, where when I first read them I found the female characters aggravating carbon copies of each other, but when listening I found them to be a lot less annoying and a lot more individual/distinguishable.
However, I tend to remember details longer after reading than listening.

The Drawing of the Three is probably my favorite Dark Tower book.
Does any one else use the Audible app for their Android? I find it actually better to use for my audiobooks than iTunes. A lot simpler, anyway. I suspect that when I finally get my laptop, and access to a version of iTunes from this decade, I'll continue to use the Audible app.
As far as my playlist goes, I just finished I Shall Wear Midnight (Pratchett), and have two novels from a series I've taken some slight interest in queued up. My interest is slightly waning, but I'll probably pick up the series again eventually. It's the Tales of the Otori series from Lian Hearn. Part historical fiction, part fantasy. Pretty well written, and the voice actors (which are so incredibly important in audiobooks) are good. Not exceptional, but they (there are two) give good/accurate voices to the main characters.
My Wish List is 40+ books strong. *sigh*
T.A.P.O.R.:
Currently listening to George RR Martin's Dreamsongs.
Several narrators, all good, some great.
Chapter intros by the author, great insight into the man behind the iron throne.
My favourite short is "The Way of Cross and Dragon".

Looking forward to the next Dark Tower book next week.
Still plugging away on Pandora's Star (it's 5 parts, 7+ hours each).
I use the Audible app for Blackberry. It's got highs and lows. It's really good about remembering where you are even after things like software updates and hard reboots, but it's a pain to rewind/fast forward, and occasionally it will have a brain fart and skip back to where you last started (and you have to clunk through the fast forward until you find where you were).
iTunes can kiss my ass. I'm the last person on the planet who hates iTunes and won't use it for any purpose.
