Work is killing me, Suggest me a good Audiobook to listen too !! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Spalax** · 10-19-2007, 01:05 AM

As part of my training i´ve been ordered to work with a stupid cutting machine,
Ultimatly meaning that i´ll be merely pressing a button and switching the metal piece every
6 seconds,..
Listening to music while doing so is kinda boring, so can anyone suggest a good audiobook to throw onto my mp3 player ?
Would also be cool if anybody has a good one or two he could send/link me to.

It depends on what kinda books you like. I listen to a bunch of Tom Clancy and Dan Brown books. Tom Clancy books take awhile to get into the action where as Dan Brown books the action pops up here and there. I recommend any of the older Tom Clancy books (anything after Rainbow 6 is bad) or every Dan Brown book except Deception Point which I thought was boring.

The Harry Potter series - around 30-35 hours each ....
Seriously, though, I've had summer break jobs like that and it may be a serious safety hazard if your attention wanders - depending on the machine - concentrating on getting the work done efficiently worked for me. Batches of 5k with a 3 second turnaround time ...

God no. At least the version i heard was HORRIBLE (and i LOVE the series BTW). The guy was monotone and borring, and had horrible voice acting when he did any...

This i will agree with. This guy (again, the version i listened to; is there more than one version?) knew how to do it. I was a skeptic at first, but it was done VERY well..

**rowneigerie** · 10-19-2007, 03:10 PM

There are multiple versions, not sure of the one i listened to.

Edit: and also multiple versions of harry potter

Thanks for the suggestions guys (although i´d rather eat roadkill than listen to/read a harry potter book.

Work your way up.
