Audible recommendations?
February 9, 2008 | Filed Under The Heartless Bitch Way | 3 Comments
So, I picked up an audible.com subscription, and having just finished the Audible version of Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere”, I’m trying to figure out what my next pick should be. Any recommendations?

ANANSI BOYS read by lenny henry is amazing.
Stardust, Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things read by Gaiman are pretty good.
I would strongly reccomend ‘Hey Nostrodamus’ by Douglas Coupland. The reading is by 4 different actors. Its fantastic.
I haven’t got a subscription but I know what books I like. Haven’t read Neverwhere either but for absurd sci fi – can’t do better than Terry Pratchett although you can overdose on him. If they had Glory Season by David Brin – I’d recommend that for being vaguely feminist sci fi/alternate reality plus I really like the way he writes. For non fiction – Tim Flannery “the weathermakers” is a good read. A pity they don’t have “the future eaters” too. I also like all of Neal Stephenson’s books. But don’t start the Baroque cycle until all three are available. Cryptonomicon is the place to start – lots of computer stuff, encryption, code breaking puzzles and a parallel series of plots where you can’t wait to find out what happens next.
