I've shared this before and I'll share it over and over: Neil Gaiman's books are all best in audio form. My favorite is Anansi Boys, read by Lenny Henry. He's a really talented Brit actor who can do a wide array of voices (he did some for Coraline the movie recently) and he really makes the book come alive. The last audio book I got was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It was a good book and the reading was pretty strong. I'd recommend it if you at all enjoy off-kilter leads that you can't help but feel sorry for constantly.

Mk28 posted:I like listening to factual books on audio. I prefer to read fiction. I will agree with this. The voice actor can kill or sell it. Gaiman is great doing his own stuff, as I said. If you like history, I listened recently to Write It When I'm Gone by Thomas DeFrank, a book of off-the-record conversations with Gerald Ford. I'm not a fan of Ford so much as this is the perfect place to learn about what it was like to be in the middle of Watergate, the rise of the modern right wing movement during his battles with Reagan, and his behind-the-scenes advising of Clinton.
