I've somewhat recently become addicted to audiobooks. Every time I'm in my car or doing something mindless I put on an audiobook. I had a good stretch of one book I liked after another but now am looking to dig a little deeper. The books I've listened to so far were all books that I kept seeing being recommended over and over again.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Expeditionary Force Bobiverse Project Hail Mary The Martian The Expanse The Children of Time The Silo series Murderbot

Am I missing anything that gets consistently recommended?

What would you recommend that would fit with that list?

Other books I've tried but didn't love

Three body problem The Witcher books Wheel of Time

Alien III by William Gibson. It is competed different than the movie and is narrated by Lance Henriksen and Micheal Biehn.

Halo: The Fall of Reach

Fatherland by Robert Harris

A Most Wanted Man by John Le Carre

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

The Girl With All The Gifts

If you are in the States don’t do any Harry Potter Book. The narrator of the US audio books is fucking terrible..

Alien III was interesting. I can see why the script wasn’t made into a movie though. It just told the same story we’d already seen twice.

Doing the same shit over and over again has never stopped Hollywood before.
