what i want to do is set up to share nokia books for all to download
id love it if other people added there books to share on here also
anyway I'm using a website called easy-share
because it's less restrictive than rapid share
and all files are less than 100mb (for a book that reads for 10 hour or so this is very good)

and now onto the reason for this post
the Nokia audio books

here's my first offering for you all
one of my favorite comedy books
GOOD OMENS - NEIL GIAMAN & TERRY PRATCHETT

When a scatterbrained Satanist nun goofs up a baby-switching scheme and delivers the infant Antichrist to the wrong couple, it's just the beginning of the comic errors in the divine plan for Armageddon which this fast-paced novel by two British writers zanily details. Aziraphale, an angel who doubles as a rare-book dealer, and Crowley, a demon friend who's assigned to the same territory, like life on Earth too much to allow the long-planned war between Heaven and Hell to happen. They set out to find the Antichrist and avert Armageddon, on the way encountering the last living descendant of Agnes Nutter, Anathema, who's been deciphering accurate prophecies of the world's doom but is unaware she's living in the same town as the Antichrist, now a thoroughly human and normal 11-year-old named Adam. As the appointed day and hour approach, Aziraphale and Crowley blunder through seas of fire and rains of fish, and come across a misguided witch hunter, a middle-aged fortune teller and the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse. It's up to Adam in the neatly tied end, as his humanity prevails over the Divine Plan and earthly bungling. Some humor is strictly British, but most will appeal even to Americans "and other aliens." Literary Guild alternate.

ok time for a little Si-Fi
loads of people visiting here have probably played HALO
what most of you don't know is the idea behind this game
and the halo itself
was stolen from some books by Larry Niven
so now i present the RingWorld series of books
(yes i have the complete set and am posting on here)
first of these books is called the protector
which is not officially one of the RingWorld series
but this book tells of the right time era and setting before RingWorld was discovered
and introduces the aliens responsible
so now i present
Protector by Larry Niven

From AudioFile
Sometimes science fiction novels that feature aliens are difficult to convert to audio. Pronouncing names and words or projecting an alien attitude often results in an awkward narration. In the capable hands of Mark Sherman, however, this novel works beautifully. THE PROTECTOR is one of Larry Niven's Known Space novels. (His famous RINGWORLD is also one.) These are engaging stories characterized by realistic space travel and human interaction with interesting alien species. The story requires Sherman to pronounce words like "Phssthpok," which he handles by uttering recognizable popping sounds. The result is first-rate. S.D. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

Book Description
Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission: save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two and a half million years before...

Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days -- Brennan figured to meet that ship first...

He was never seen again -- at least not by those alive at the time.

thank you m8 i thought so too

anyway onto the next book
the first official RingWorld book all these are the Audio Cassette edition
and yes its called
RingWorld

Book Description
In the first book of this award-winning series, a huge architectural ring is constructed in outer space. In time it will house the inhabitants of the dying Earth. A whole new world is emerging, a world of huge dimensions, encompassing an area three million times the area of the Earth. Ringworld has a gravitational field and high walls to preserve its atmosphere. Its proximity to the sun maintains the new planet's climate. With those kinds of resources at its disposal, humankind can begin anew -- but not without meeting the disquieting challenges of a brave new world. Breath- taking ingenious from start to finish, RINGWORLD is fast becoming a science fiction classic. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

From AudioFile
Two humans and two aliens, who are traveling to distant reaches of space to prevent a future catastrophe, crash on a ringworld apparently created by superior technologies. Tom Parker captures the personalities of the travelers through individual vocalization and provides smooth, expressive narration. The listener is soon caught up in the adventures of these vivid characters as they struggle to survive. Although this is a rousing adventure, some listeners may experience difficulty visualizing the alien settings. M.A.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition

ok onto the second RingWorld book
in this book we discover how it was all made
so now i present
The RingWorld Engineers

The RingWorld Engineers is the sequel to RingWorld. In RingWorld, Larry Niven introduced us to the concept of a world made in the shape of an extraordinarily large ring encircling a star. In this book he gives us answers to questions we might not have even asked about the RingWorld, but that others apparently did. After the publication of RingWorld, Niven received numerous pieces of correspondence from people offering helpful information about the details of how the RingWorld would actually function. Niven took inspiration from the enthusiasm of those people and created the RingWorld Engineers in part to publish the answers to important questions about the structure. Around those answers he has created a thoughtful and engaging story that adds in a positive way to the RingWorld legacy.

thank you i was biggining to wonder if anybody had noticed
i almost stopped posting
because you have replied and repped me :idea5:
here is the next installment of this series
book 3 of the RingWorld series
this one is called
The Ringworld Throne

From Publishers Weekly
An honored SF writer returns to his best-known creation: the artificial world, built far from Earth by aliens over a half million years ago, in the form of a ring 600 million miles in diameter, hosting an astonishing multitude of inhabitants and cultures. This third fictional voyage to the Ringworld (after Ringworld, 1970, which won both the Hugo and the Nebula for best SF novel of that year, and Ringworld Engineers, 1980) offers two stories crowded into one. A motley array of hominid inhabitants are seeking to defeat a plague of vampires. Meanwhile, returning hero Louis Wu is battling what effectively is a plague of Protectors (superbeings common to many Niven novels) whose rivalries threaten Ringworld's existence. The battle against the vampires is the more exciting of the two stories, filled with action, scenes of the Ringworld and explorations of ritualistic interspecies sex. Wu's pursuit of the Protectors displays Niven's deft hand at portraying aliens, but the dialogue that fills in the backstory slows the narrative. Niven still ranks near the top of the SF field, but this outing is likely to satisfy determined Ringworld fans more than other readers.
