Favorite audiobooks?

[mr.loverman]

Do you guys have any favorite audiobooks?

Could be fiction, nonfiction, self-help etc. I'm going on a road trip soon and need to stock up.

I just listened a fitness audio book by tom venuto that i thought was great.

Compound Effect by Darren Hardy

 

[Xericx]

A cook's tour read by Anthony Bourdain! Kitchen Confidential isn't great, but cook's tour is awesome.

 

[Hombre Secreto]

I have Notes from Underground and the guy who is reading the book is awesome. He really captures the character.

I've enjoyed Michael Lewis' stuff. He's an impressive storyteller. The Big Short was fascinating look into the recent crash and Moneyball was well told (although there is a big debate about how effective sabernomics is).

Currently, I'm listening to Legacy of Ashes. It's stunning how ineffective and incompetent the CIA is. Rather eye-opening.

I've only listened to a dozen or so, but World War Z has been my favorite so far.

The road (Tom Stechschulte I think) makes a great audiobook,
also like American Psycho read by Nick Landrum

 

[origenesprit]

Foreskin's Lament

 

[ITSDF]

All of David Baldacci's books, especially the Camels Club series

I don't like the idea of audio books and never have listened to any, but if I had, this would probably have been my choice:

My favorite audiobook of all time is A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, read by Richard Matthews. The book itself is excellent and covers everything from the Big Bang to industrial uses of lead. The reader has an awesome British voice. http://www.amazon.com/Short-History-.../dp/0736693203 For a lighter audiobook, check out Me Talk Pretty One Day written and read by David Sedaris. http://www.amazon.com/Me-Talk-Pretty.../dp/1570428654
