Not sure if it's good value after that - unless there are some worthwhile free classics Think every month you get a free credit too so you effectively get 12 books a year to keep.

I just signed up for Audible myself, two months free trial, not tried it yet but will certainly be giving it a go. Animal farm it is.... rather than using a credit - it's on YouTube.

Animal Farm is still quite heavy though. I just hope he doesn't love horses. I'd really start with Discworld. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remembered a memory from school, one of 2 times I was pulled aside by my teachers to ask if everything was alright. This time it was because we were asked in year 9 to write an alternative ending to Animal Farm and mine involved Boxer breaking free and leading a bloody, graphic revolution and trampling the pigs in detail. The other time was for another ending rewrite for a story I can't remember the name of. I was such a rebel MikeO, Palfy and Hafnia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I went to see Deadpool & Wolverine yesterday. So much better than I hoped it would be. Two hours of fun! Can’t wait to see it again. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on a long drive home from the south coast with the family (wife’s turn to drive) and we’ve got the soundtrack on. It’s so good. Cheese!!!
