Hey everyone,

If you're like me, you may have problems reading books in hand...or not having the funds to support the great habit of reading.

So I decided about a week ago to pirate some of the books I've wanted to read but realistically probably wouldn't. I set up a private podcast rss feed to host these books.

There were a few problems I encountered. One was some of the books weren't available. Two was some of the books came in large audio files or broken apart in chapters. As a result, when a book was spread across multiple files I created a "season" for that particular book.

As for the missing pieces, or books you'd like to be included, that is where the Hexbear community can help. I'd love feedback and I can do my best to find the audio files to add to the library. I'm hoping this could potentially help the book club read-along series if need be too.

Please message me if you're interested in the rss feed, I don't want to post it for fear of it tripping some invisible wire that shuts the feed down. But I do want you to share, far and wide, with friends and fellow leftists.

(also note, to suggest/recommended books, use this thread. doing it in PMs it's more likely to be lost)

Thanks, and I look forward to some recommendations.

Edit : just realized how dumb it was to ask for suggestions but you only can see the library if you pm me, so fuck it, here's the feed

    I mistyped earlier, I meant to say it's a private tracker, albeit one that's fairly easy to get into (iirc they have interviews on Saturdays UTC, which mostly just involves a quiz to make sure you've read the rules)

        If it helps, I think they've got a web based irc client for that now, I definitely didn't have any problems getting it set up a couple years ago it was pretty straightforward
