Oh one more, Tom Robbins book, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates (On my absolute favorite audiobooks of all time) is read with perfection by Keith Szarabajka.

I also like Scott Brick in the books by Brad Meltzer, additionally I very much like how Michael Connelly books are read by Len Cariou & Dick Hill, I've also enjoyed Greg Iles books read by Dick Hill.

I joined audible when they first started - I was on a plan of (2) audio books a month for around $12.95 - it was a heck of a deal. Ultimately the convenience of Audible.com gave way to the quality issue. In my opinion the audio quality of Audible.com is seriously lacking. I tend to get cd audiobooks from the library and M4B'ize them for my iPod. There are more and more web repositories with free audiobooks also, search around and you'll find them.

I have been a huge audiobook fan for nearly 10 years now. It's not that I don't enjoy reading books, but a busy career, MBA evening school, and young kids have pretty much forced my "reading" time to audiobooks during my commute.

I still read the occasional hard book, though I've yet to get past about page 100 of The Histories.

While I do very much enjoy reading books, I get a similar enjoyment from listening to books also.
