I’m also curious. The bible says life begins after birth, when God breathes life into the lungs. This is stated multiple times. You are not alive until you take your first breath.

Grew up poor in Michigan and damn you just hit me right in the childhood. :P Also cut up hotdogs in mac n cheese.

I’m a very heavy user of audible (truck driver) for a couple years and I’m happy with it. Theres a very good selection in the plus catalogue which is included with your membership and you also receive a credit for any other book from the full catalogue (which is massive btw) each month. Beyond that I buy my credits in a 3 pack for $38 (it only offers you the 3 pack if you’re down to your last credit) so anything cheaper than $12 I buy outright and anything over $12 I use a credit which is handy because I’ve seen some audiobooks for $35 or more.

Last week I listened to Earthcore and am now in the last few hours of the sequel, Mt Fitz Roy by Scott Sigler. It’s been a hell of a ride so far, strongly recommend it. Will definitely be looking for more by this author next.
