Audible is doing a members-only $5 sale with different audiobooks on sale for each of the next 5 days, including today. There are several SF&F choices, as well as other things.

I only found one on today’s list that was already on my reading list. I didn’t have it listed as a potential audiobook choice, but it’s the first book in a large series that I probably wouldn’t have gotten to anytime soon, so it makes a good candidate and I decided to grab it: Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey.

I am extremely grateful to my English teacher, who taught The Chrysalids as a set text, and had The Day of the Triffids and Consider Her Ways in the English stockroom and encouraged us to go on to them. Wyndham is one of my favourite SF authors.

>23 clamairy: The Day of the Triffids used to be available on Kindle in the US, but I learned (too late, after purchasing and reading it) that it was a shortened and modified version for the US market. It was a significant change – the Americanized version has 11,000 fewer words than the original. There are more details about it, including how to tell which version you have, at this link: https://triffids.guidesite.co.uk/versions.php

My impression was that this wasn’t a new issue introduced with the Kindle edition, but a problem with at least some US print editions also. I didn’t look into it too deeply though, because by the time I learned there were two versions, the damage had already been done for me. I might like to read the proper version someday if I run across it, but not until more time has passed. (I read the e-book in 2019.)

26clamairy
Mag 29, 2021, 11:28 am

>25 YouKneeK: Crap. I must have read the same version back in 2013 when it was still available. I think I vaguely remember a couple of bizarre typos that I assumed were the result of an unedited OCR scan. I wonder if the audio versions are also shortened.

>24 -pilgrim-: I'm pretty fond of him myself, but now I am concerned that all three of his books I have read weren't complete editions. :o(

27-pilgrim-
Mag 29, 2021, 12:55 pm

>54 Bookmarque: Just adding a note that it’s a very large list of books. 1195 if I did my math correctly. I saw a lot of Robin Hobb books in there, several Abercrombie books, some Raymond Feist, some Sanderson, and lots of other things likely to appeal to SF&F readers.

Although I saw several things of interest to me, I limited my selections to books that were already on my to-read list and that more-or-less met the criteria I’ve been using this year to choose which books to do as audiobooks. So I only picked up three this time:

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams
The Rook by Daniel O’Malley
