What, reading the book itself too much effort?

Not sure if any of them exist. Tried searching for torrents? Usually only the most popular of books are released in audiobook form (i.e. harry potter).

I have A Man for All Seasons on my iTunes. Its basically a study guide in audio form. The lady's voice is really annoying.

Well I guess if you're really into the "know the book inside out", you'll want to read the book anywhere, anytime. So on the train, car or walking back home. These cases would be appropriate for an audio book:)

Have you tried any major bookstores? I've seen audiobooks there but don't recall any of your titles.

I can't stand audiobooks. Its just not the same having it read to you, I much prefer sucking in literature through my eyes :D
