Who here listen's to audiobooks? With the advent of the mp3 player, I became an avid audiobook listener. I know most people just warez the audiobooks, which is unfortunately a product of how they are marketed/sold/prices but they are getting better in that department. Anyways, I am going to list some of my favorite audiobooks... and while the material is important, the reader or readers are really what makes of breaks an audiobook, so I am focusing on those readers who left the best impression.

Game of Thrones (Song of Fire & Ice) read by Roy Dotrice.

The Dark Tower (stephen king) read by George Guidall (as an aside, if you have read this series and are a fan (who isn't that has read it all?) king recently released what he calls book 4.5. It is basically another story of Roland growing up, and is a lot like wishing glass in that regard, and very enjoyable)

Salem's Lot (stephen king) read by Ron McLarty

World War Z there is a whole cast of readers for this one.

Lestat books (Anne Rice) read by Michael York. All I can say is this guy becomes Lestat.

Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan) read by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer. She reads the female perspective, he reads the male.

Any of you have any favorites?
