I am a long time member of Audible. It is truly fantastic. If you sign up for the monthly credit it costs you about $17 (including tax) CAD/month. Now one credit can purchase any of their offerings and there is a large quantity of security/intel-related offerings of books. I'm currently going through a large collection on the former Soviet Union and books on Russia's new dictator, V. Putin. They also have the classics, such as "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (Dale Carnegie), Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis), and The Holy Bible "Word of Promise" NKJV Bible. Now I should note that one credit buys any one book in their collection. So a short 4 hour book on the Checka goes for one credit, while the 75 hour full Bible also costs one credit. Which I think is spectacular and amazing.

So the library offered by Audible contains many intriguing books on Security- Intelligence that aren't mere fiction, but stuff that can inform you about the real-world things that are going on in the present era. So if I were to rate Audible I'd give them a 9/10. They would have received a 10/10 but they offer perverted stuff as well, which I'm not keen on. But as far as having books that I enjoy its as good as it gets, totally rocking selection.

The main thing I like about Audible is that all the books are in audio form. That means I can travel by car, bus, or train and have some time to learn about stuff that I don't have a spot fit in my day to study. This solves that issue. I can now learn while traveling and it is a lot of fun. Some such books include:

Is that enough readings to get through? This is a part of my library of books from Audible. It is vast and expansive. I have listed all of these books not to boast that I'm really well informed, but rather to show the great selection of books available from Audible. It makes my day when that time comes every month when my new Audible credit arrives. I get one credit every month and the selection is (obviously) massive. It is inexpensive education from the best of authors and publishing houses. I hope that you enjoy Audible as much as I do. I am not sponsored by Audible, this is my own personal evaluation of the products provided from their online store. Both Audible.com and Audible.ca work.

If you want to learn about security intelligence without having to go to a military prep college this might work for you. You can take a listen whenever you have down-time, getting a well-rounded education with only a few hours every few days.

A person who reads murder mysteries is not a murderer. In the same way a person, such as myself who reads security-intelligence am not a spy. I am well informed but I have no intention to seek employment with any type of intelligence agency or organization. Reading this stuff is what I do for fun. I like learning about this stuff because I find it intriguing.

Now go on and get reading (hearing), I think that you will enjoy the selection as much as I do.if you're into this kind of stuff. Seeing that you are reading this from The Sp00knet Echomail Network I figure you might be intrigued as I am.

Cheers mates!!
