What are some books that are good in audio form? Making long drives to work and need something in between.
Pride and Prejudice with Rosamund Pike. She does a good job with the humor and characters.
Poetry, maybe?

Finnegans Wake

No joke though, Finnegans Wake told in it's intended Irish accent would be great

HP Lovecraft. I think pretty much everything he's done is in audio form and I remember the voice being perfect for all the descriptions of monsters and such.

Serious recommendation OP:
The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth. It is quite long, but endlessly charming, and immoderately funny. If you can find an audio-book I guarantee you will enjoy your commutes infinitely more.
Just promise me you'll come back here to talk about it, since no one ever participates in my John Barth general threads

Moby Dick Big Read.
Huge audiobook project where the chapters are read by different people. a lot of them famous.
>Stephen Fry, Neil Tennant, Fiona Shaw, Will Self, Benedict Cumberbatch, China MiƩville, Tony Kushner, John Waters, Simon Callow, Sir David Attenborough, even Prime Minister David Cameron. Pulitzer Prize winning poet Mary Oliver finishes off the whole project, reading the Epilogue.
If you wanted to check it out, the first chapter read by Tilda Swinton is fucking great.
