Ne. I read way faster and can let what is left of my imagination flow. But I kind of understand the point with audio books.

I listen to audiobooks all the time when doing chores, commuting to work, etc.  I'm a huge fiction fan but found that I prefer that to be written versus audio, so I signed up for Audible and use it for non-fiction works.  It's helped me augment my 99% fiction focus as well as expanded the list of things I've learned about well beyond what I would have actually read.

If you'd like, I'm happy to go through my library when I have a chance and let you know what I've enjoyed most so far.

Anything by Neil Gaiman. Dude has such a rad voice.

His books The graveyard book, Neverwhere and American Gods are my favourites.

Harry Potter audiobooks read by Jim Dale.  No joke, his voice is so good he could read anything to me.
