100 Audiobooks (make this a drinking game and take a swig each time you read the word "hour")

I've been listening and working on my list most of this evening, so it's all put together 8 days early,updates will be close to the ends of the next 5 to 10 months.

I cannot spend any money on audible, so I will need to wait until my debt is resolved before even thinking of joining again, at which timei'll finish collecting The Wheel of Time and other fantastic series and other things.
