Audiobooks

The full cast version of American Gods by Neil Gaiman absolutely transformed an already great book. Highly recommended.

I liked how they hired different actors for each character for Hyperion. It made it really feel like each character was telling their own story.

Stephen King thinks his own books benefit from being audiobooks because good narrators bring something extra to the experience. I’ve found I enjoy them anyway. I’ve also heard the Harry Potter versions narrated by Stephen Fry are popular.

This may be considered heresy by some, but Andy Serkis narrating the Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece.

Project Hail Mary, 100%

This is a really random response, but I listened to a book by Roger Sparks called Warrior's Creed before I did an event with him. I had meant to read it before and suddenly it was the night before so I started the audiobook and finished it on my drive to the event in the morning. He does the audiobook and the book is basically all personal stories so it was cool to hear him tell them vs reading them.

Peter Weller read Steppenwolf and it's a work of art unto itself. Weller's bitter and disdainful cadence adds depth and character to the narrative. I listen to it sometimes just to get lost in the timbre of his voice.
