My daughter likes audiobooks, but for me if I don't actually read it then I just don't process it. I might as well be paying for white noise to be piped in.
I was the same way when I first started them. Now, I process them very well during my commutes.
I did the Dark Tower series this year on Audio book. I just finished the second book of His Dark Materials Series (first book was better). Looking for something new.
Other books I did audiobook on this year that I would recommend:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Catch-22
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark
Circe
The Color Purple.
