Audiobook Humble Bundle

If you’re a fan of video games, you’ve probably heard of the Humble Bundle. They are collections of games made available to purchase at the price of your choosing, in which the proceeds are split between the creators and charity. Altruistic shopping, what more do you want? This time they’re offering a bundle of DRM-free audiobooks. Here’s the pickings:

  • The Satanic Verses – Salman Rushdie
  • Stolen – Lucy Christopher
  • Abandon – Meg Cabot
  • Junky – William S. Burroughs
  • Found – Margaret Peterson Haddix

And if you pay more than the average (currently $5.62), you get these as well:

  • A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius – Dave Eggers
  • Blood Meridian – Cormac McCarthy
  • On a Pale Horse – Piers Anthony

I’ve only read On a Pale Horse, which I didn’t really enjoy, so I’m afraid I’m not much help with the recommendations. I have been meaning to get to McCarthy, Burroughs, and Rushdie though.
