You wrote me a letter,
and this is how it went:
As already mentioned, Lolita read by Jeremy Irons is one of the best audio books out there. His voice is just a perfect fit for the character.

Also Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way read by, who else, Bruce Campbell is very entertaining and well read.

Ender's Game read by a team called Audio Renaissance is stellar. Multiple voice actors, all high quality. Highly recommended. Really brought it all to life for me.

I can also recommend I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream read by the writer himself, Harlan Ellison. Very dynamic, very powerful. It's always great to hear a story exactly as the writer himself envisioned it.

I actually had a tough time getting through the World War Z audio book, despite the big names attached to the project. Some of the accents sounded like caricatures and it really began to grate because of this.

edit: Forgot one biggie: The Hot Zone read by Howard McGillin is also very good. Read very clinically, just as a book such as this demands. Just great overall.

Holy poo poo hearing Naked Lunch read by the author is an experience.

Not to mention impossible to understand what he is slurring on about.
Like paying a drunken whino to read a book out loud for you.

But it is an experience.
