Totally normal book on audible
Audible broke somehow. So now I have 1, 194 hours, and 2 minutes of book left…
You must log in or # to comment.
Imagine Wikipedia as an audio book.
I hope you believe in reincarnation :)
I don’t but it probably would take several lifetimes.
Stormlight Archive 5, Wind and Truth by Sanderson is 62h 48m on Audible. It’s the longeest in the series.
Book 1, The Way of Kings, is the shortest at 45h 30m. So between 250 and 300 hours for the series so far.
Wind and Truth is my personal longest single book listen as well.
It’s a difficult binge, but an excellent one
Waiting for the Graphic Audio version to be fully done before I do my reread of WaT, but yeah that’s gonna be a lot of peoples’ longest audiobook
Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection (1 book) narrated by Stephen Fry is 71 hours and 57 minutes
The Wandering Inn, by pirateaba. The books are almost all like 35+ hours and there’s like 16 of them now. They’re fantastic
Theres spin offs too like the Singer of terranria series. So good! Glad to see someone else mention it.
TWI is also free to read if anyone is interested https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/03/rw1-00/
Warning this is one of the deepest rabbit holes you will go down. And thats saying something on the web.
The longest one I have is King’s The Stand. 47h 47m. I wish I could find the original edition, this one has too much waffle.
The Wheel of Time series has 13.1 books in it with each being between 25-40+ hours. I listened to the entire series which was ~450 hours or about 19 days.
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality clocks in at almost 67 hours.
The more you post about this instead of listening, the longer it’ll take.
I listened to Worm, which the wiki says is 156 hours.
Haven’t done the sequel, but it says that’s about 225 hours.
i did not know anyone had done audiobooks of those.
If someone’s done Pale, that is probably the longest (somewhere in the vicinity of 4 to 5 million words IIRC)
Chapters were read by a number of different people with different gear, so quality and pronunciations were a bit all over the place. It was solid enough as a whole that I really enjoyed it.
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, narrated by other people. I’ve listened to it twice and am in the middle of my third listen, but it takes a while each time as it’s about 70 hours long.
isn’t that book the one that inspired a cult known as zizianism?
I don’t know about that. All I know is that it taught me a bunch of ways to think critically that were super interesting, and with an entertaining and often comedic storyline to boot! I haven’t been integrated into any cults yet :)
IT by Stephen King. Around 45 hours.
My current read is Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara. These books are 7-9 hours each, but I’m on the 13th volume. I think there are 17 or 18 audiobooks released, covering the four seasons of the anime. The anime is on indefinite hiatus until the next book series finishes. I’m not sure if they’ll do the audiobooks before the anime or wait.
About 60-70 hours I think. I know the author of the HP books is… a bit insane but I really loved the way Steven fry? Was narrating each character.
Is this a crazy coincidence or are you psychic?!? The picture in the post is from the Sorcerer’s Stone! I got sick and nostalgic, and started listening to it.
I think it’s a little shorter in reality though, compared to what audible claims here…
You’re 100% right about Rowling, she’s gone off the deep end in a bad way.
Yeah last I remember most of the books could be squeezed done in a week listening on comutes
The wandering inn has over 600 hrs and now has two separate narrators. I use the voice app. Works well. I enjoy the series, its my soap for the last two years.
I csnt find the official number of hours but its huge.
Chapterhouse Dune. Under 17 hours, but it sure felt like about 100.
Les Miserables. Unabridged.
