Can anyone recommend me a good audio book ?

[SkagenRora]

Hey.

I've Listened through all the World of warcraft books that audible had to offer, and i'm wondering if anyone have any recommendations for other good audio books?

[Deleted]

I only listen to audiobooks on Audible due to disability - here are my recommendations

Harry Potter series
Discworld series
His Dark Materials trilogy
The Witcher Saga

All fantasy and high quality audio, you're looking at over 300 hours.... There's also a few good audiodramas like Alien

If you like Star Wars I would recommend Plagueis and Thrawn. The first is no longer cannon but makes the prequels make so much more sense and is narrated really well and really has a nice focus on Sith. Thrawn is part of the new cannon and is also narrated really well and is a good story (getting a new book this summer too) and gives you amazing insight to the "non-force" side of the Universe.

The real trouble with audiobooks is finding one with a good voice or performance otherwise even the best story sounds dull

I do love me some star wars, Got any exact titles or Book order (If it's a long series)?

These top 4 I would recommend to anyone, even not avid SW fans. They are all stand alone novels with Thrawn getting a follow up this summer.

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis by James Luceno -- Just a stunning book on the Sith and how Palap ends up where he is. (not cannon but ties into cannon SO well)

Thrawn by Timothy Zahn -- Goes into the rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Empire. (Cannon)

Star Wars: Tarkin by James Luceno -- really good book that goes into Tarkin. (Cannon)

Star Wars: Lords of the Sith by Pual S. Kemp -- really good book that gives great perspective. (Cannon)

If you end up really digging books and don't mind not cannon..

Darth Bane Trilogy is great: (in order to read) by: Drew Karpyshyn
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction
Darth Bane: Rule of Two
Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil

Thrawn Trilogy is also great: (in order to read) by: Timothy Zahn (this started Thrawn, its no longer cannon but GREAT stories)
Star Wars: Heir to the Empire
Star Wars: Dark Force Rising
Star Wars: The Last Command

From here just look at other SW books by the simular authors and you cannot really go wrong. They are good at their craft and good at writing SW. They usually have good folks reading them as well making the audio experince that much better.

I can suggest you Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating

I second the star wars ones, easily my fav fantasy books.

[chazus]

The entire Dresden Files series, voiced by James Marsters, he's fantastic.
Cinder Spires, voiced by Euan Morton, who is also fantastic.

Ready Player One by Earnest Cline, narrated by Wil Wheaton. Fantastic story, fittingly narrated by someone who actually enjoys the genre. Catch it before the Spielberg movie release next year.

I was gonna say that. It really is an excellent book wish he would hurry up with Ready Player Two.

I listened to this one. I liked it but it has the young adult thing where all the adults are idiots and only the teenager knows what's going on, that was a little irritating.

[Armakus]

It's already been mention, but I'll second The Witcher saga. Great, great books.

How about we recommend outside of game material?

Just for starters, anything written and narrated by Neil Gaiman is nice. I'd go with Neverwhere, but some prefer other works.

The Witcher Saga was written well before the games existed

I second the person who said His Dark Materials, the audiobooks are really awesome, different voice actors for each character and the author himself narrating the rest. Great paper books and great audiobooks.

[Donald Hellscream]

There was this book about a machine that could predict the cause of peoples death, I think its titled " this is how you die " either way I really enjoyed that one.

Beat me to it. The Dresden Files is a great audiobook series. The first 2 books a little rough, with Marsters kinda working out the characters, but after that they are great.
