    Greetings,

    Because I can't get enjoyment out of written fiction due to reading difficulties (everything reads like it was a textbox), so I looked into audio books. So far I have only heard Q-Squared, narrated by John De Lancie, I enjoyed the book and it helped me to see the story, it was a creepy book in parts but that's an opinion for another day.

    My questions are, does anyone else listen to Star Trek audio books and are there any narrators to avoid?

    I didn't know there was audiobooks for Star Trek!

    I'll be looking for some because sometimes its nice to listen with your ears rather than read with your eyes.

    I dunno, that sounds kind of awesome to me! I've got a several hour a day commute right now and having an audio book in the car seems perfect!

    Certainly much better than listening to 'wheels on the bus' for the millionth time Big Grin
