I'm a cargo driver and I spend a lot of time driving and I've recently started listening to audiobooks.

Can people here recommend me some books that would work well in an audiobook format? Which is to say, probably light hearted fantasy or sci fi without too much real deep thought provoking. I've found stuff like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and ASOUE and other YA fiction to be the most enjoyable because you can just half-pay attention and not really miss much, so that's the kind of thing I am looking for generally, but any rec is welcome.

Check out the Peter Grant novels by Ben Aaronovitch, starting with 'Rivers of London'.

They are light, urban fantasy about a London in which the paranormal is real. A young police officer becomes the first new initiate in the forces' magical enforcement department in a century.

They are brilliant audio books (I think award winning), read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

Hope you enjoy!

I wish I had some good picks for you, but my audio book experience is limited.

I do recommend Podcasts too though. Radiolab is a great one!

Thanks for the recs.

I do have some podcats lined up as well, I was looking specifically for books in this case, since I bought a subscription to audible and have stockpiled up 3 credits that I want to use.

Dan Carlin's hardcore history is a good podcast as well. Just got into it and listened to the reformation one. Great stuff.

I travel a lot and also love audiobooks. I've found short stories the best. Sherlock Holmes is good, Chekov, Maupassant also if you like the classes.

More recently I've been going through Lovecraft's stuff, which is a little longer, and also Ray Bradbury's sci-fi. I imagine the Hitch-Hikers' Guide would also be pretty good given it started as a radio show.

Librivox is a good place to browse as well, though obviously amateur readers can be a little hit and miss.
