    I’ve listened to audio books since “Books On Tape Inc.” first began. I operated a horse boarding stable for 37 years, and so many hours of mucking out stalls were “sweetened” by adventures & mysteries to other places with other characters. Many recordings are my favorites, but recently I’ve enjoyed “The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield.

    I’ve listened to audio books for more than 40 years. I was on the road a lot at night – photographing stage productions throughout Los Angeles and San Bernadino counties, and the stories coming from my car’s cassette, then CD players, helped to make the travel (and even the traffic) something to look forward to. I really enjoy Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache police mysteries. The are engrossing, breath-taking, and so well read by Ross Cosham.

    I hate leaving a negative comment, but it IS a comment. Many, many people are enthusiastic about audio reader Scott Brick, but after 3 of his thriller mystery readings, and now will not order anything read by him. (Sorry, Scott! I’ve met you in person, and you are a great guy, but the sarcastic and wisecracking tone and multiple “pauses for effect” in your reading is just not something I enjoy.)

    John McDonough reading the Jan Karon books, George Guidall reading Tony Hillerman’s writings and Marguerite Gavin reading for Dana Stabenow. I could
    listen to them round the clock.

  12. Jackie Houchin

    Dick Hill (Stephen White thrillers), John Rubenstein (Jonathan Kellerman mysteries), Adam Grupper & Peter Giles (Michael Connelly series), George Guidall (The Cat Who– mystery series) John McDonough (Jan Karan Mitford series) and the multiple readers of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie classic are all fantastic readers who disappear into the authors’ words and make them come alive in 3-D and technicolor.

    One hour in the car each way to work means AUDIO BOOKS ALWAYS!
    Nation by Terry Pratchett read by Stephen Briggs, he makes an amazing book even better.

    I’ve been an audiobook fan for seeming eons: when the baby wouldn’t sleep, if I had a long cross-country drive to take the kids to Grandma’s, when I had the flu–
    Wildly divergent tastes here, but Lorelei King in the Janet Evanovich series
    George Guidall in the richly descriptive Craig Johnson series
    Dustin Hoffman narrating Horton Hears a Who…
    The list would cram the web….

    The first audio book I read was ‘The Help’ – great readers and now I’m hooked!!

  20. Ann T. Duvall

    Two favorites..Dana Stabenow and Donna Leon. Different, but both deliciously intense! We have a nice little library of audio books, and always on the outlook for new titles.

  21. Don Huck

    I love the Prey series by John Sandford. Richard Ferrone does a fantastic job as Lucas Davenport. Also enjoy listening to Wayne Dyer and Anthony Robbins for motivation.

  22. Karen Gabbert

    Maltese Falcon. Finding the right voice can be amazing! Listening to a woman trying to be a Scottish Lord can be torture. Richard Peck’s Teacher’s Funeral. Hilarious beginning!

  27. MaryC

    Jim Dale – Harry Potter books (first audio books I listened to)

    Susan Ericksen – J. D. Robb’s In Death Series

    Dick Hill – Lee Child’s Jack Reacher Series

  28. Trish

    Right now I’m listening to IT by Stephen King narrated by Steven Weber. I’m shocked to say that I might be calling this one my favorite!

  30. Linda W

    Cold Mountain has become my favorite audio book. The reader did an excellent job with the accent of the area and pulled me into the story better than if I had read it myself.
