If we let them write books, what else would they ask for? The right to vote?

What the hell kind of question is that to ask on a blog called “nerd world”? (Unless you mean LeGuin or McCaffrey, of course)

I’m not a huge fan of audio *books*, but I do love the short story podcasts. Escape Pod (and the sister podcasts) and StarShipSofa are personal faves (disclaimer: I’ve had a story published in the latter.)

Being a workaholic artist myself and only being able to read a book / comic on the occasional trainride, I have discovered the audiobook this year. Audiobook is the only way I was able to get trough something huge like the Dark Tower series.
