I rented the book on tape of The Hero and The Crown and right now I am transferring it to my computer. yeah, I mean recording it one tape at a time. So far I've recorded up to chapter 8, go me?
and why am I doing this, you ask? Well, first of all the only version of the audio book listed on amazon.com is the 2 cassette abridged version. (also no one is selling it) What the hell? The one at the library is 8 cassettes! for some reason the only places I can find the 8 cassette version is libraries, so I wonder if it was a library only addition? o_O"
it dosen't seem to exist any were else and I can't even find the cover art for it online! though I did scan it and once I finish recording it I'm going to upload it to the net since they really don't seem to have any plans to put this on CD. (if they wont do it I will!)
and what is with my obsession with this story, you ask? eh, I just remember listening to it back in jr high and I've always loved this story. so yay for getting to listen to it again! ^_^
edit:
ok, I lied, I did find the 8 cassette version online to buy, for like $70 on the official site
Recorded Books inc - The Hero and the Crown
but dam, $70 for cassettes?
also I've been playing a ton of Oregon Trail 5, which is a strange hybrid between Oregon Trail 2 and Oregon Trail 3 (primarily Oregon Trail 2) with added cheesy cartoon scenes. But I'm mainly playing it for the fact that it's mostly just a copy of Oregon Trail 2. seriously, all the graphics (well, the river crossing is different) are the same and the interface is the same (aside from the few things that are from Oregon Trail 3) though one thing they did change is when you are talking with people in the original version their months moved, but in Oregon Trail 5 their months stay still. kinda odd since I keep expecting their months to move o_O"
