There's the audio which I was actually pretty excited about finding just now


I have the epub mobi too.......i could post a torrent link or if some1 wants to explain how to zip and host an epub I'll post it direct

Inno 10-03-2017 04:09 PM

Dooope. Are audio books considered reading?

I’ve always wondered that.

Ghost1 10-03-2017 04:40 PM

Yes bro! There isn't any difference from the words being transferred into your mind audibly as opposed to visually

uh-oh 10-03-2017 08:34 PM

i don't retain audio books like i do shit i actually read

i'll look for a torrent of this tho

oats 10-03-2017 09:23 PM

There a world of a difference between reading and listening to an audio book but if people are accessing the written word then I'm happy.

But yeah hit me with that ePub por favor

Ghost1 10-03-2017 09:45 PM

Whats the difference aside from preference?

Legit asking


An word I gotchu in the am for the epub

oats 10-03-2017 10:02 PM

On my phone, but the short of it is that reading demands a lot more out of your brain (this is true even between reading on paper vs. screen). There's more going on neurologically. The act of reading itself, regardless of what you're reading, also fosters mental habits like critical thinking and reflection. Requires active interaction with information as opposed to passive reception of it. But like I said, audio books are much better than nothing at all, and are really convenient for a lot of people. Nothing wrong with them at all.

Ghost1 10-03-2017 10:33 PM

I can dig it

At one point I had attempted...or wanted to research it....i must not have LOL

oats 10-03-2017 11:09 PM

Nicholas Carr wrote two books (The Shallows and The Glass Cage, I think they're called) which are really thorough looks at the subject. I studied the neurology of reading a lot for grad school tho so you can just skip that and take my word for it.

So what your saying is if I listen AND read along I get twice the brain power?


But srsly my fucking phone won’t let me download it anyway so I’ll wait for the other link.

@Amen find that link bruh the other one worked great

oats 10-03-2017 11:48 PM

well yeah, if you listen while you read that is a better way to receive information. even better, if you know sign language, have someone stick their fists in your butthole and sign it to you while you listen and read.

Inno 10-04-2017 12:06 AM

Lmao

Yes and to me, it's a better method because you are comprehending whats being said as appose to you reading, and your brain deciphering everything you are visually looking at and comprehending it - at least with me it is. It eliminates a few steps in the process. Just plug your head phones and begin - before you know it, it will be over.

Pinot Grij 10-04-2017 08:03 PM

got one of them mobi files?

Ghost1 10-05-2017 01:50 PM

I thought I did have it on mobi but nugatory

I did a little digging last night and couldn't find it

ill try again later on

do you have overdrive? not entirely sure but I think I could send you my copy on there

oats 10-05-2017 09:16 PM

I think there's a website that can make mobi files out of epub fwiw

Pinot Grij 10-06-2017 12:46 PM

Yea, there's a program that will do it, but the translation can be spotty. I read a whole book with a main character named Clan, which I thought was a peculiar name, until near the end of the book it wrote his name as Dan and I was so confused. I finally realized it had been seeing the capital D backwards and Dan was Clan for the whole book. I can't have another Clan.

I can only read epub and overdrive on my ipad, not on my kindle and I hate reading on the ipad. Gonna see if I can get this bad boy at the library.

Ghost1 10-06-2017 02:20 PM

lmaoooooooooooooooo

so gone at cant have another clan

Captain Neckbeard 10-12-2017 06:18 AM
