If you like classics, Moby Dick narrated by William Hootkins and Don Quixote narrated by George Guidall were both a treat to listen to.

Pic related is a rare philosophical text that is full of keen insights but also accessible enough to be a good audiobook. It helps that he is looking at history much of the time. Really a classic.

I only listen to genreslop on Audible/in audiobook form, after all it is an inferior, passive form of entertainment that does not result in good comprehension or retention. Therefore, I physically read all important works, and only listen to fantasy/sci-fi shit like the Horus Heresyto fall asleep, or while doing something physical like manual work or exercise. Don't waste your first interactions with the classics using Audible.

Im going to say it. A lot of the little isemi-philosophical nternal monologues of moby dick are a bit trite and basic nowadays. Maybe they were more compelling back then.

This faggot's audiobook of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is really good.
Elijah Wood's audiobook of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is good.
And the Roy Dotrice Game Of Thrones audiobooks are good.
