Audiobook Recs
Feb. 11th, 2018 10:21 pmI'm starting my new job this week! My first shift is on Wednesday.
The one drawback of this job is that it has a half hour commute, so I've decided that obviously the best way to deal with this is - audiobooks! Which means that I am asking you to recommend to me your favorite audiobooks.
I'm looking particularly for books where you think the audio dimension adds something to the novel - a reading that is not just competent but makes the book even better than in book form. I really enjoyed the audiobook of Gail Carson Levine's Dave at Night, for instance, because the narrator did great accents for the characters - I probably would have liked the book anyway, but it wouldn't have made such an impression on me without the voices.
