Audiobooks

Jennifer Hale reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini.

Ray Porter reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

I liked how they hired different actors for each character for Hyperion. It made it really feel like each character was telling their own story.

The full cast version of American Gods by Neil Gaiman absolutely transformed an already great book. Highly recommended.

This may be considered heresy by some, but Andy Serkis narrating the Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece.

Stephen King thinks his own books benefit from being audiobooks because good narrators bring something extra to the experience. I’ve found I enjoy them anyway. I’ve also heard the Harry Potter versions narrated by Stephen Fry are popular.

Dungeon Crawler Carl and Expeditionary force.

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Any autobiography, such as Michael J Fox's and Eddie Izzard's

Project Hail Mary, 100%

Peter Weller read Steppenwolf and it's a work of art unto itself. Weller's bitter and disdainful cadence adds depth and character to the narrative. I listen to it sometimes just to get lost in the timbre of his voice.

This is a really random response, but I listened to a book by Roger Sparks called Warrior's Creed before I did an event with him. I had meant to read it before and suddenly it was the night before so I started the audiobook and finished it on my drive to the event in the morning. He does the audiobook and the book is basically all personal stories so it was cool to hear him tell them vs reading them.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

It’s a riff on "The Good War": An Oral History of World War II“. Each chapter is a self contained story, each has their own narrator. They’re good.
Make sure to get The Complete Edition! The original release was abridged. It was the pits!
