Angie!
I read those with a Roadrunner, but I'd love to read them as audio books!
Who could forget the subtle knife! Can you tell us where these books are
available commercially?
Thanks!

I'm also in this camp, for the most part. The exceptions are really, really
good audiobooks with great narrators--all too hard
to find, it seems. Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" books are incredible
to listen to, for example. And I would never
read those with synthetic speech. But they are unabridged novels with full-cast
narrations that are done very well.
But for many things, including most novels, I would definitely prefer the
synthetic speech.
