Audiobook recommendations
Can we have another one of these posts? I'm listening to a book that would probably be decent in print, but the narrator sucks. I don't mind being on hold for a month or two if it's really worth listening to on audio. Recently, I've listened to and enjoyed:
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
The Raven Boys
The Dream Thieves
The Sky is Everywhere
Tell the Wolves I'm Home

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman

I'm currently listening to "Invention of Wings" and loving it! Also "Art of Racing in the Rain" and "Where'd You Go Bernadette" were both great on audio.
ETA: They don't have 11/22/63 either! WTF!

I've been meaning to try Mistress Shakespeare too, I just haven't yet. Have you read the Kenzie and Gennaro series by Dennis Lehane? I thought they were fun to listen to and they are set in Boston!

I have a GR shelf of those books which I think are particularly well-done on audio, includes many of those mentioned in this thread:

I love it when we have these posts.
I liked all 3 Gillian Flynn books on audio
I'd previously listened to 600 Hours of Edward which he had narrated, and I thought that was good, and that he was good, but I also think his voice was suited to the deadpan delivery of a character with Aspergers. I can't imagine him narrating something with a straight delivery and not finding his voice grating, however.
