I've listened to the Redwall audiobook and really enjoyed it! However, it's to expensive for me to buy anymore of them on my Kindle, and unfortunately my library doesn't have any Redwall audiobooks.

You could see if your library takes purchase suggestions, or if they offer Interlibrary Loan services.  I got all of the ones that are available on CD through my library.  I made copies of all of them just because I never know when I want to listen to them (and, when I started doing that, I was working on my thesis and didn't have time to reread that books I focused on multiple times, but I could listen while I worked and walked to and from campus)

This is what I'm doing, actually.  My inter-library loan service has CD versions.  I'm not sure exactly how legal it is to copy them, but I already own the audiobooks on cassette, so the way I see it is it's just a format I can listen to from my ipod in the car or at the gym when a cassette player isn't accessible.

I love the audiobooks!  I just wish that all of the books had been recorded!  Does anyone know if there are any plans to finish them up???
The real issue is that Brian was the executive producer and with him gone... :'(
But couldn't, like, one of his son's take over as producer?
I don't think any of them really want to. Someone told me that...
Were did you hear that?

Life is too short to rush through it.

Yeah, that is something I need to look into at some point. There have been several times when there was a book that I wanted but my library didn't have it.

I'm not even sure if that as the exact spot. I'm sure I saw it somewhere though.

I think as long as you don't try to sell the copies or post them on-line, it should be okay.  Don't quote me on that, though!

What's the website
I don't know the name, but it is an official legal site. My dad had to sign up for the month, and pay a fee. Then he could download any audio book he wants. If it's on the site that is.

Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.
