Audio Book Version Of AA Big Book

Just curious but have any of you listened to the audio book. It's all over the bit torrents so it's easy to find. I was blown away by how well it was done, they used different readers to do all the individual stories, for example a man read a mans story, a woman a womans story.

I had read the book in the past but listening to the spoken word seemed to add a whole new dimension. The wisdom in that book considering the time period is beyond inspirational. Get the one marked latest version if you download it. I listened to it twice and it really made me rethink any negative thoughts I had about AA. Just thought I'd throw that out there if anyones interested.

The book is often read in meetings, and yes, it does often take on a different character when read aloud. But hearing how the people in any given AA meeting relate to the stories is even better.

Sent you the link shaun, don't know if it's OK to post it or not. If not the mods can delete the link : Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book 4th Edition (download torrent) - TPB
