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

Vote in support of the locked room series.

Did you actually laugh while reading? I find your description of funny as odd, even if I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Oh absolutely! But I also have a painfully dry sense of humor that Muir hits on brilliantly that especially when put in contrast with the bleak world and story makes the jokes especially funny.

example

the "Hi not dead yet, I'm dad" scene in the second book, or the repeated callbacks to the cows in the third.
