Angels and Demons by Dan Brown if you haven't read it yet I highly suggest you do!

I've read that one. Not really a fan of Dan Brown - he's too formulaic for my tastes.

Just finished "Ignition! - An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John Drury Clark.

In the hope of getting some serious suggestions for future Audible books I'll start this thread with...

Currently listening to - "Where the Magic Happens" by Caspar Craven about a man, his wife, children and their boat trip around the world.

Often thought of buying some audio books for long car journeys, although I think I'd prefer dramatizations rather than one person simply reading the stories

I'd say one needs something that bowls along with quite a bit of action and not much dreary or complicated introspection.

Maybe detective stories, such as Sherlock Holmes or Father Brown, or Agatha Christie?

Got a couple of audio CDs of Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce in an audio version of some Sherlock Holmes stories, so must dig that out some time.

I'm waiting for audible books with subtitles as I prefer reading.

Skulduggery Pleasant - awesome book series. Funny, exciting and clever.

Demon Road Trilogy - another great series.

Modern Scholar - pretty much any of them are good.

[b0redom]

Each to their own. Some would probably say the same about your posts....

[psychocandy]

Currently listening to: I Am Pilgrim

Worth a listen:

Jack Reacher books by Lee Child
Camel Club books by David Baldacci
Iron Druid books by Kevin Hearne (only the ones read by Christopher Ragland though the other narrator is rubbish)
We are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor
St Mary's Chronicles by Jodi Taylor
Jam by Yahtzee Croshaw
Peter Grant novels by Ben Aaronovitch

Started on the 1st We are Legion book and gave up. Found it to be very boring and poorly written - I did this, then I did this, then that.
