Great Books to Listen To

Be warned. If you listen to Bossy Pants you may laugh out loud on the metro.

Another vote for using Overdrive/library to download audiobooks!

I've enjoyed a lot of non-fiction via audiobook this year:

No Easy Day
Mountains Beyond Mountains
What is the What (long, but fantastic)
Bossypants (hilarious!!!)

Also really liked some Grisham novels (The Litigator, The King of Torts, The Associate) and Where'd You Go, Bernadette. How I Live Now was also very good.

On my To Do List: Bedwetter (Sarah Silverman) and Jenny Lawson's book.

I subscribe to audible and listen to a lot of audio books. You need to find a narrator that you like. The girl with the dragon tattoo series was excellent. I would listen to anything read by Simon Vance as a result of that.

I listened to the Hunger Games series but did not like the narrator-Suzanne Collins.

I also liked Scott Turow's book Innocent and Malcom Gladwell's book Outliers in audible format. One of my favorites was the Informant by Kurt Eichenwald.

I love love love audio books. I finally got an ipod and listen to them for free from our public library. I love nonfiction. I have listened to lots of current history books and biographies. I agree that certain speakers/readers have a gift, but most are very, very good. The only audio books I did not like were the classics which were mostly cheaply made and read by nonprofessionals. One novel I loved on audio book was the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society because there was a different reader for each character and the English accents were wonderful (plus the book is wonderful anyways.)

I was going to recommend LibriVox. It has hundreds of public domain works--especially the classics.

I just finished Lucifer's Hammer on Audible. It was beyond awesome, and you really get your money's worth (it's a really long book)

Wow you are the first person I have heard who has read this book (other than me). I read it years ago and loved it.

It's a book I'll probably read again and again. I'm a post-apocalypse fiction fanatic, are you too?
