CharlesWillisMaddox posted:John Hodgman's book "More Information Then Required" was recently released, it was a hilarious book to read, but I found it a little tough to get through. Oh god, I've been waiting for it to come out in audiobook ever since I finished the first one, "The Areas of My Expertise." Jonathan Coulton singing little songs about the 51 states was amazing, though the hobo names were drawn out a little long. Can't wait to see how this one shapes up!

They've been mentioned in the thread previously but The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher definitely fit the bill for me. They're about a private eye in Chicago who also happens to be a wizard. They're really funny and action-packed. I binged through the entire series over a several month period during my commutes to and from work and it got to the point where I was leaving home extra early and arriving back super late because I was making my trips as long as possible so I could listen to them longer. For some reason I can't listen to audio books unless I'm on the move.

Streebs posted:Back on topic to the thread, I just finished listening to Dresden Files book 2 on audio book, it was pretty awesome. I read book 1, currently reading book 3 but I was on a plane for awhile last week so figured it'd be nice to try an audio book for once. James Marsters does a great job. God drat that's a great series, and book 3 is when it starts getting absolutely amazing!

Yeah, Ghost Story was the first of the books where I actually read the hardcopy instead of as an audiobook. Pro: read it in record time, Con: I missed Marsters wonderful voice. What makes it all the more tragic is that they'll never rerecord it with the correct voice actor.

Snowy posted:Do you guys have any suggestions for good sleepytime audiobooks? Monotonous readers with gentle voices preferred, and if they don't act out the characters' voices, all the better. Go The gently caress To Sleep read by Samuel L. Jackson.

Mister Macys posted:Sir Winston Churchill's history of World War Two Volumes 1-4 Thank you so much for this! I've always had a problem with lying in bed for hours without falling asleep and waking up the next morning exhausted. Just started this series last night and within 15 minutes I was out like a light!

The longest audiobook I've ever finished is probably Atlas Shrugged (Unabridged) weighing in at 63 hrs. I was stupid in college. ImpAtom posted:How is that, by the way? The actual book relies so much on footnotes that I'm curious how it works in audio book form Absolutely wonderful! I don't exactly remember how they managed the footnotes (I believe they compiled them all at the end of each chapter), but however they did it the audiobook was phenomenal.
