Thursday's topic is: Audio Books for the Uninitiated
Whether you just started listening or have a long history with audio books, you probably have some suggestions for those new to audio whether for narrators, titles, or ways to experience the medium. Write a post, make a list, get creative.

I LOVE Christopher Moore's Love Story trilogy! Read them in order, but the last one is my favorite when it comes to the narration. :o) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christopher Moore Audio is A Dirty Job, read by Fisher Stephens. There is a rumor he may do a sequel *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteGreat lists: I've considered the Jack Daniels series, just never actually took the plunge.
Thanks for the list! I'm always on the lookout for something good. I've been meaning to check out Bossypants, so maybe I'll give the audio a try. :)
ReplyDeleteKathy, that's been a favorite among bloggers. Definitely get a copy and check it out! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob! Do check out Jack Daniels. Alternate narrators, set in Chicago.. I like it!
Oh, do you like Cynthia Nixon? I know that Macmillan uses her a lot, but I just couldn't picture it, I wasn't sure I wanted Miranda's voice in my head for 9 hours. But if she is one of your favorites...
ReplyDeleteBefore you take my word, Jen, I've never watched an episode of SATC.. maybe that's why I like her :o)
