• I like to listen to Laurell K Hamilton when I run & work out. When things start to get "hot" I sprint *G* I just finished The Book Thief, really enjoyed it. I listened to all of the George RR Martin Song of Ice & Fire books. They were great!! I like to "re-read" books on audio that I haven't read in a long time. I just started the Clan of the Cavebear books, I haven't read those in 15 or more years. I love my audio books I have about a 15-20 min walk to and from my office each day so I get to listen to books (NT) -- Cherie (), 21:05:17 08/06/12 Mon

• Anything Jim Dale has narrated: the Harry Potter series, Around the World in 80 Days, the Peter and the Star Catchers Series. I also enjoy the gentleman who read Hornet's Nest and a few other Ken Follett books. It took me a bit to get to used to, but I really enjoy the one who read the Wicked series as well. We loved the Redwall series when DS was growing up - Brian Jaques read the storyline, but the animals were a full cast. FANTASTIC! The only ones I really didn't like were the Ramona and Wrinkle in Time authors. They read the books themselves, and both had lisps of a sort. Drove me nuts. (NT) -- Lady_Jane, 21:56:45 08/06/12 Mon
  • Oh - and I loved the Girl w/the Dragon Tattoo on audio. Helped a lot w/the Swedish names. (NT) -- Lady_Jane, 21:59:22 08/06/12 Mon
    • I listened to those too. Really helped with all of the Swedish (NT) -- Cherie, 13:12:33 08/07/12 Tue

• Any of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books, as Lady Jane mentions, it really helps with the African names of people and places. I just finished a Lee Child book and at first thought I wouldn't like the narrator (Dick Hill) but his voice grew on me. DS and I are finishing up another book by Markus Zusak (not The Book Thief, called I am the Messenger) and the narrator is Aussie as is the main character and it really livens up the story!

• I try and listen to 'classics' that I haven't got around to reading. I usually listen while driving the car. Recently I've listened to North and South and in the past Rebecca. For something light I've listened to a few Monica McInerney books which often have Irish as well as Australian characters so the accents are great listening! (NT) -- Rhiann, 22:02:39 08/08/12 Wed

• Couldn't agree with you more, Reilly, about a reader making or breaking a book. Besides DG's books, the series that I enjoy listening to are Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series, read by Kate Reading, and Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series, read by Grover Gardner.

• Two of my favorites are Le Mariage and Le Divorce by Diane Johnson. She also has a third one, L'Affaire (which I haven't listened to yet. Both are light, funny, and so kept me interested & paying attention. I listened on CD's from the library, but wonder if audible would have them?? They're really good!
