Need some suggestions for Audible credits (lemmy.world)

I have five credits on audible and looking to discontinue the service since I don't use it too much (believe I lose the credits if I haven't spent them when I discontinue). Looking for some recs to spend my five on before I discontinue. I'm open to anything except straight up school textbooks/self-help/religion and political guides/so much porn uptime headphones are absolutely required in a house with other people lol.

Rn my library is The Martian and Project Hail Mary, some He Who Fights With Monsters, American Gods, some The Hangman's Daughter and The Faithful Executioner. My non-audible libraries cover a wide range like a history of Charlie Chaplain fighting spiritualists, Greek BC city state warfare, Star Trek novels, The Princess Diaries and Percy Jackson series, Andrew Lang's fairy books, Water Margin, Altered Carbon, etc so really wide open to suggestions from across the board.

I did the same thing you are doing a couple months back. I wasn’t using it but got tired of eating the additional charge each month and had accumulated several credits.

I actually got several of the books you mentioned. A few of the others I grabbed were the original Dune series (Frank Herbert not the ones by his son), The Three Body Problem series, The Sandman, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Good Omens, Being Henry

Yeah, I really wish you could just do an indefinite pause. I wanted to cancel last summer cause I found the We're Alive podcast and got the "you'll lose all your credits, but we'll give you 3 months at $5 a month" message. Took me like three months to get through We're Alive lol, swapped to Hangman's Daughter and then found Behind the Bastards, right back where I started 🙃

But thank you for the suggestions! Definitely seems we align lol I have paper Hitchhikers and Good Omens, hadn't thought of getting them on audiobook before even though I love them, my inner reading "voice" isn't much better than text-to-speech tbh so that's some great suggestions. Haven't heard of the others except Dune (cause my dad loved the 80s(?) movie lol) so I really appreciate it!
