alfierose Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Going by his GTA cameo I think he would be good at this. What book would you like to listen to him read?I'll start with Wind in the Willows and The Twits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yes, that would be great. Doesn't matter which book really. I'll go with Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, as it is my favourite book of the last couple of years and it is a huge book, so that's a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good writing style but it was lacking in something. Would Freedom be better? Are they comparable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good writing style but it was lacking in something. Would Freedom be better? Are they comparable?Well, I read Freedom first. Can't remember if I had a hard time getting into it, though, because I often have that. But I enjoyed it thoroughly and makes you think too. I am the worst in remembering a book after I've read it, but I still remember Freedom quite well, and it even has an impact on certain aspects of my life, or how I live my life. I can't say that of any other book.As for The Corrections... must confess I started that, but couldn't get into it and have put it aside for now I don't know if they're comparable, but I definitely know I haven't put Freedom aside.

Black Sabbath Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Axl's a great talker and story teller, so it would be awesome if he not only wrote a book, but had an audio version of it as well.Doesn't compare to being there while he's telling it, but closest you'll get in that sense.
