    Default Audio Books

    This is going to sound lazy as Hell, but bear with me.

    I love to read. I really do. But for years now, I have lots of trouble getting into books, especially political ones. I tried to read Capital, and it was like the Damn matterhorn! I found many comrades had the same issue so I settled for Value, Price, and Profit. I tried to get through State and Revolution, and while easier to read than Capital, was still a challenge and it fell by the way side. I did read The Communist Manifesto, but found I took in more from a reading of it than me reading it.

    I have always taken more out of lectures and readings of books than myself reading alone, unless what I am reading is extremely entertaining (sci-fi, fantasy, etc) but I know I need this stuff to become a better revolutionary and better leader.

    Does anyone know where to get these great authors on audio book? I have found one book by Trotsky and one by Lenin, and that's it. Not even Audible has any. I found the two I have after hours of Google searches.

    All help is appreciated.

    In solidarity and peace

    There's a few here http://marxists.org/audiobooks/index.htm and you can also try David Harvey's lectures on reading Marx's Capital http://davidharvey.org/reading-capital/.

    Nothing lazy about that, there's a lot of people who prefer audiobooks. I came in to post the link that durdles provided, but he beat me to the punch. hehe.

    librivox is where I found what I have now. Audible.com is a joke when it comes to political material unless its NYT best seller. Ive requested more classic books though.

    http://www.audioanarchy.org/ has a (very limited) selection of anarchist texts.

    You can also search torrent sites for torrents that have audiobooks. People usually compile them by author or genre.
