Layer Cake is great on audiobook just to hear all the British slang said aloud, the narrator swears excellently as well. While it's not something you'd want to listen to while running or driving, the audiobook of Stephen King's The Mist is done like a radio play and they use "3D Sound" to excellent effect.

Woofwoof posted:Also, for those of you on a budget, there are plenty of free audiobooks out there that have taken on the moniker, "podiobooks" that range from really, really bad, to kind of bad but not so much because they're free. Don't forget libraries. Most libraries have a huge collection of books on CD/cassette but depending on your area some of them also let you download audiobooks over the internet, in the form of DRM-protected MP3s that stop working after a month or so.

I just finished The Hunger Games and Carolyn McCormick did a good job with it, especially considering how many opportunities there were for it to be terrible (like one character who's a drunken old man who talks entirely with slurred speech, or a precocious mousey little girl with a high voice, not to mention all the crying out in pain and dying and shouting and a bunch of other things that can be really annoying when done wrong by the reader). Also, looking up the book for this post I found out that the reader did the voice of nearly every female character in Deus Ex, including Anne Navarre and Maggie Chow.

To the many people who recommended Lolita as read by Jeremy Irons: thank you. What a perfect voice for narrating unspeakable atrocities
