Audio books are amazing. I've listened to dozens of them, mostly philosophy books. Right now I think I'm going to finish "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I also need to finish "Democracy in America." As for when and how, I usually listen to it over a mobile phone, while cooking, driving, playing computer games, or on long walks

Differential Geometry by Wolfgang Kuhnel + squats

Good times

Audiobooks kill my concentration. I enjoy reading after I've cleaned up from the gym.

Well, do you have other time you can concentrate on audiobooks? I personally have difficulty focussing to read

>>82
Driving would be a good time. If there was a way to swap between audiobook and regular text without worrying about losing my position I would be more intrested. I may try an audiobook exclusively for driving.

Well, there are two ways. If you are playing it on YouTube, you've should automatically keep the position you have on the video. In fact, YouTube should keep the position even if you go to another video. Another option is the librivox app for your phone, which you can use to play at least most free audiobooks. With that, the audiobook will play even as you minimize the app and text or do what have you

>>85
If you work a job that allows you to have music/audio, I'd recommend looking into it.

Ah yes a real book on hands and a comfy chair afther workout is the best.

Actually, a very large number of audiobooks are available for free. You can find many of them on youtube. Simply type in the name of the book you want with "aubiobook" and there is often a freely available audiobook version. This is more likely in the case of older books, as they are more often in the public domain. Also, you can download the free Librivox app on your phone, which has access to many thousands of free audiobooks. Here's a free audiobook on youtube: a Librivox recording of Anna Karenina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kjWJjtMwuQ

are there any audiobooks of Diogenes or Aristotle's philosophy? where can I download or torrent some?

Diogenes thought writing and teaching of philosophy were pretentious, and so left no written works. The closest you're going to get is this chapter of "the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers" by a different ancient philosopher named Diogenes, which covers the Cynical school of philosophy, including Diogenes of Sinope. Only 2 hours but by a kind of obnoxious foreign reader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwZ6KhOcpe4

Aristotle, however, has most of his corpus available on youtube in audiobook format, and can be found by typing "aristotle audiobook" into the search bar on Youtube. Please be aware also that Diogenes of Sinope and Aristotle have almost perfectly opposite philosophies: Aristotle though the pursuit of knowledge was noble and the political life both natural and noble, while Diogenes thought politics and metaphysics were unnatural and mere pretension.

Here is his Nichomachean Ethics in audiobook. It's a must read, but be forewarned that the reader for this book is insanely boring and kind of annoying. It may be worth looking for other readers. It is ten hours in a single recording. https://www.youtube.com/watchv=GQhZNy9nkDg&t=3s

Here is his Politics. It's a mere 8 hours in a single recording, and so pretty easy to complete. Be aware though that Aristotle believes politics to be only an extension of ethics, and so this book is intended as a sort of part two to his Nichomachean Ethics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3gVry2xoOE

Here's his Rhetoric. I've actually never read this work, and it's by the same boring reader as the Ethics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt6Ai0FNN70

Poetics is 2 hours, and mostly worthwhile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7g7gr8mqec

Aristotle has other works - personally found his "On the Generation of Animals" to be a fascinating work on the philosophy of biology, and weirdly enough, actually pretty relevant to modern philosophy of biology, and in an indirect way, to modern ethics. I wrote a seminar paper on the concept of teleology from that work in college. But most /pol/ types are only really interested in ethics and politics, and those are the best parts of Aristotle's works.

Here's his Metaphysics though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRPrzE7IhYc
And his Physics. It's pretty outdated
