    Ship Breaker is one of my recent favs. But couldn't be a fan of the zombie one

I did Windup Girl, Ship Breaker and Drowned Cities. Windup Girl was enough to make me rave. Drowned Cities was enough to make me stop.

    I expected to see On Aggression on that list too.

I read On Aggression 15 years ago. I haven't revisited it as an audiobook. It was certainly formative, especially as I was breeding cichlids (well, Angel Fish) at the time.

    I can see you talk about librivox. I personally hate that site. Specifically their library.

I've never used it. yakov mentioned it and he seems clever. Me? I mostly use Audible or I crack stuff down to M4As and play them in iTunes. Or I did before Android. I'll have to figure something out but hey - you saw my backlog.

    Speaking of torrents, are you talking about private or public.

I only do private. What.cd currently returns 11,000 hits for audiobooks; another private tracker whose name I'm not allowed to mention lists a thousand more. You probably know more than I do; when you're committing to spending $240/year on audiobooks and you don't have a commute, you don't really need to go much deeper.
