    "Technologies change, and then what people make with them changes," Grandinetti says. He points to the way cable allowed for both Breaking Bad, which told a single story over 62 episodes; and True Detective, a multi-season series that tells a complete story each year. "Nobody would take a chance on those TV shows 10 years ago, because the model didn’t exist. So even though the evolution of these media may taketh away in some places, it giveth in some others. And I think the same may be true in books."

If you want an amazing audio book, I strongly strongly recommend The Dark Tower, especially the first few who were read by Frank Muller.

I listened to his Interview with a Vampire even though I had already read and watched the movie simply to hear him read it. Also The World's Shortest Stories.

Also, there are a few exceptional torrent audio book sites (http://audiobookbay.to/audio-books/anne-rice-collection-anne-rice-2/) if you have hesitations to spending the sometimes relatively large amounts of money on an audio book before hearing a sample. All audio books should have samples but some don't. It's a pain in the behind.
