Currently listening to Swords and Deviltry by by Fritz Leiber. I can't decide if I like it or not!

Just finished listening to The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

I just started The Poisonwood Bible. At first I wasn't sure, but it quickly started to grow on me.

Just finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson. I was glad I had the light, funny Miss Pettigrew to balance The Thirteenth Tale, because it there were one or two parts that were so disturbing (I think listening to it made it a bit more graphic) that I couldn't sleep that night. Maybe I'm just a wuss, but...it was rough. They're both fantastical, though. :D

I really enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale on audio. I completely agree about the audio making it even more scary and tough to get through at times. Great reader, though.

I've been waiting for "The Poisonwood Bible" from the library for months now. I really liked "The Bean Trees", but as a substitute for "The Poisonwood Bible" I've been listening to "Prodigal Summary" and it's annoying me. Coyotes simply are not beautiful creatures.

I just returned from vacation and finished "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society", I enjoyed it very much; it was full-cast-audio. I also finished the last 1/3 of "Moby Dick" on audio, which I had been reading in digital form, and really liked that one as well.

Not sure what's next for me. I have "Beloved" downloaded, and "Delicate Edible Birds: And Other Stories". Possibly one of those, but I'll scan my library site first to see if anything else catches my ear.

Right now I'm listening to Monday Mourning by Kathy Reichs.

Just finished listening to The Likeness by Tana French, read by Heather O'Neill. The story takes place in Ireland, and Heather O'Neill did an excellent job conveying the nuances of different Irish accents. If you like the suspense genre, I think you'll like it a lot!

I am listening to Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe, Hawaii by James Michener and The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell. All old books. Had been reading just the newest and wanted something familiar for a change.

I thought the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was one of the best I have read this year.

At this moment I am listening to Dragonfly in Amber-Diana Gabaldon. I just finished Fatally Flaky-Diane Mott Davidson & Scarpetta-Patricia Cornwell.

I'm currently listening to The Golden Compass. This is by far the BEST audiobook I have ever read. The narration is awesome, as it is done by the author and many other voice actors. It's like a movie without the picture. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good and exciting read that's easy on the mind.

Hi Jess, Yes that was a great book

I’m listening to The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters, read by Simon Vance. It moves like molasses but that’s okay because I’m totally engrossed. This is a haunted house story, so far very subtle. The reader is good, too.

I'm listening to the David Sedaris Box set (20 cd's), which includes Naked, Me Talk Pretty Some Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and lots of others. Very funny!

I just finished listening to that on your recommendation, and it was terrific! The ensemble cast really brought the book to life.

Currently making my way through "A Tale of Two Cities" and also "Middlemarch". I suspect I'll be on these two for a while.

Dry A Memoir

I am really enjoying this. It is the first audiobook I am listening to that is read by the author.

I am almost finishing The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, which I got it from LibriVox.

My husband and I are currently listening to The Count of Monte Cristo, read by Richard Matthews. We are both REALLY enjoying it!

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace, Read by Neville Jason. The reading is magnificent; like the best readers, (and like Davina Porter, who read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina) he gets all the voices and accents completely right, from high class to low, from French to German accents. And, (like Davina Porter) he understands the way emotion and psychology affect the voice and pacing. I waited six months to get it from the library, more than worth it. As with Anna Karenina, I'll be bereft when it's finished.

"McIlhenney's Gold." It's the story of the family responsible for Tabasco sauce. Lots of local Louisiana history and anecdotes. I'm really enjoying it.

Mostly I listen to children's audiobooks in the car with my kids, and I have enjoyed almost all of them. I have been surprised at how these children's / young adult books have enthralled me...I guess good story-telling is good story-telling, no matter what the genre or age!

Currently listening to Charlie Bone and the Shadow, the penultimate book in Jenny Nimmo's excellent series.

Have listened to the entire Harry Potter series - Stephen Fry version is better by far.

Have also listened to Dave Barry's Peter Pan series of books - very engaging stories.

I highly recommend The Wall and The Wing,one of my favorite stories so far.

I don't know if anyone else is wondering or not, but how do your kids like audiobooks? Does it keep them quieter in the car? (May I ask how old they are?)

I am closing this thread as it has gotten so long, please use the newer "currently reading" one instead - thanks!
