I barely have time to read, but I have plenty of commuting time in the car to listen. I'm looking for some great audiobooks. My requirements:
-Must be unabridged. I don't care how long that makes it, but if I'm "reading" a book, I want to "read" the whole thing.
-Reader's voice must be non-annoying. I had a David Sedaris audiobook and I couldn't finish it because of his really incredibly irritating voice and intonations. Blech.
-Must have some kind of plot/forward movement. Need to stay awake on the drive, y'know.
-Preferably available for download on iTunes, though this is not a dealbreaker. I could actually check something out from the library.
I don't care if it's fiction, nonfiction, read by the author, read by actors, great lit, chick lit, whatever. No Harlequin romances, no talk radio hosts turned author, no Nicholas Sparks, no self-help. Must be compelling and well-written.
Lay 'em on me!!
