I recently started a menial job where I can listen to shit whilst I mindlessly tap away at a computer. I've found that listening to audiobooks almost makes this tedium enjoyable .
I listened to a good one other day called "The Smugglers Blues" by Jay Carter Brown. It's the story of a weed smuggler in Canada through the 70s up until he could no longer operate (I'd recommend it, if that's your sorta thing ).
I was going to sign up for the amazon audiobook thing, but it's 7.99 a month and you only get 1 book for that. Now I'm a broke assed motherfucker, so this doesn't work for me. I'm currently using what.cd to 'borrow' these books, but the selection there is limited. Does anyone know of a better place to for me to borrow an audiobook from?
Also, if you've got any recommendations for some good sci-fi / thriller / biographical books to help me survive office work, it would be appreciated:D.
Cheers.

Last week i downloaded some phillip k dick and kurt vonnegut audiobooks from http://m.thepiratebay.org
There is usually a ton of audiobooks, but you may have to search by author or title to find them.

Aduble is my best friend. If you know anyone that uses it they can send you a book for free and you get a free credit for a standard book once a month after you sign up.
Audiobooks are the reason my office job hasn't turned me brain into total mush. Though I do get irritated with some narrators.

Just realized you said you can't afford audible. There is a few uncopyrighted books on youtube. I don't know any other free place you can go.

That will probably be my next series once I finish The Wheel of Time. I crush through audiobooks at work so I'm sure it won't take me long. I listened to The Sword of Truth series (12 books) 3 times waiting for free credits 
It's hands down my favorite series though. I'll recommend it to anyone that's into medieval fantasy.
