Which of those books (in any category) have you read, and which of those do you agree (or not) that they are noteworthy?

Fiction: I tried reading "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand", but found him too irritating a character to get into; moreover, I wasn't that keen on the narrator. Most folks loved it.

Non-Fiction: "Nothing to Envy" is one I highly recommend, both for content and narration. I've been tempted to try "Stuff", but fear it might be a bit dry?

Politics: "Game Change" was pretty good - definitely worth a credit.

I've heard that Bronson Pinchot does a fantastic job but I haven't listened to him yet.

In Sci-Fi & Fantasy:
Soulless is a really good audiobook that I really enjoyed.

and as far as customer favorites go the only one I've listened to is Freedom which I couldn't stand and gave up about halfway through

From all these lists of the the best of's I've come to realize I am listening to nothing new may have to change that.

I loved Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and thought that the narrator was absolutely perfect for that book, I was disappointed not to be able to find anything else he had narrated.

I've been eyeing that one for awhile but I am for sure getting one of the other audible winners The Kitchen House
