[quote=Anonymous]With my mental energy still at an all-time low post-pandemic, I have been having a hell of a time actually [i]reading[/i] these last years. Into the breach has come audiobooks and podcasts, but I tend to favor more "listen-able" fare like memoirs, light non-fiction, journalism. Which are fun! But it makes me sad that I am missing out on actual literature, e.g. when was the last time I read anything on the Booker Prize or Nat'l Book award shortlists? Do folks have any recommendations for great, engaging audiobooks that are also great [i]books[/i]? Doesn't have to be highbrow (though equally good if it is), just something that really blew you away... but also didn't leave you lost & confused after 20 mins. (E.g. I'm thinking that say, Finnegans Wake or 100 Years of Solitude with 55 characters with the same 3 names, while classics, wouldn't really meet the "Can I follow this while walking to the metro" test...)[/quote]
