Recommend me an audiobook

[jeriendhal]

I've got an Audible credit burning in my pocket and I'm not sure what to spend it on. Previously I've listened to old favorites like Bujold, and I've also given a listen to Gibson's Bigend trilogy, which I found moderately interesting. Anyone have anything to recommend that I might find interesting?

I don't know if funny urban fantasy is your thing, but Kobna Holdbrook-Smith reading Rivers of London (the title is changed to Midnight Riot in the US) is absolutely epic. He does all the accents perfectly, it's like listening to a play where they somehow managed to cast every character spot-on. You can get a taster of the book at the publisher's website here and see if it's likely to be your thing, but I have to say the audiobook is actually better than the paper book.

I recommend A Short History of Nearly Everything. Good information, very funny, well read.

Well, Neuromancer and both its sequels are on there. Along with the "Burning Chrome" collection of Gibson's short stories, including Johnny Mnemonic.

And M.C.A. Hogarth has a bunch of audiobooks.
