Does /lit/ ever listen to audiobooks? What are your favorites?

Story Of Civilization by Will Durant read by Alexander Adams, it's an old books on tape version from like the 90s, the newer Audible versions are ok, but they have a different reader for each volume so it doesn't have the epic feel, that is possibly the comfiest audiobook of all time, the whole torrent is like 8 gigs and it can be found on any patrician tracker

My job has me driving for like 60% of the time. I know only plebs listen to novels, thus what are acceptable audiobooks for patricians? I will continue reading during lunch, non-working time.

The other thread on singers writing books reminded me of Nick Caves Bunny Monroe. He read it himself and provided some music and soundfx for the audiobook and his deadpan tone and dark prose made it funny AF.

Also, Michael Gira's Somniloquist or whatever it was called.

t. don't usually listen to audiobooks but these cracked me up.

Nick Cave's Sick Bag was surprisingly fun to read, I'll have to check this out.

John adams was a great listen. If you havent listened to homers works you're making a terrible mistake.

Horror is good too. Basically anything. I drive a lot so i listen to a lot. Probably 70% sff goodness though.

>Audiobooks of Moby Dick where they make Nantucket Quaker voices
>Audiobooks of Don Quixote where DQ has a noble lisp and Sancho sounds like a squeaky mexican turd
>Audiobook of a very weirdly young Ian McKellen reading the Illiad

It's all in the voices the reader makes.

I don't but I want to whenever I start my next job. Hopefully they allow headphones while I do my computer programming shit. I have such a backlog

LibriVox is mostly crackly laptop-mic garbage, but the guy who reads The Iron Heel has this great gravelly northern-British voice. Pity he's only recorded the one book.

I usually listen to audiobooks if only to speed up my reading. Going on YouTube and listening to an 8-hour 300+ page book, and pressing x2, I can guarantee that I will finish the book by that day as long as I hold my reading. It ensures that you'll read at a steady pace, and it's a good technique for wanting to clear books because both audio and visual senses are tapped into.
