I've always wanted to read some of Lovecrafts works. His stuff is mentioned in so much modern sci-fi.

weathers · July 2010

You gotta love a bit of lovecraft. The more you read, the better each story gets. He created a pretty in depth world/lore in which to set his stories.

Lots of other authors have added to the 'cthulhu mythos' by writing more stories set in the same world. It's pretty cool to get lost in it for a night if you've nothing to do.

The youtube ones aren't so bad, it's the librivox archive which is mostly a bit shit. There are some good stories there but they're read by the users opposed to pros so the quality is a crap shoot.

The Hobbit Audiobook was well done. The BBC Lord of the Rings one was also great.

The simarillion audiobook was also amazing but took a while to get used to.

Ugh, I want to download Brave New World for listening on my music device, but downloading the audio straight from youtube is bound to cripple the quality. Considering the fact that the YouTube upload isn't exactly crisp either, I suppose I'll have to find it from another source.
Any suggestions, bros?

EDIT: Found this
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5328341/Aldous_Huxley_-_Brave_New_World_-_AudioBook_-_MP3_-_Slimoo
Hopefully it's a good read listen.

Brobump.
Without a doubt, the torrent I found is read so much better than the YouTube video in the OP.
The torrent actually reads the book while the 'audio book' in the OP just acts it out, which is very awkward, considering how books are so dependant on adjectives to describe the environment.

Anyway, it was a fantastic read, I highly recommend it to anyone who isn't keen on sitting down and reading the hard copy, though to be honest, I think that reading along with the audio would be quite enjoyable.
