Can you recommend some audible.com books?

[muscleman]

I've listened to about 10 books there and liked the format, but the selection is far less than in kindle or physical books in Amazon.

Can you recommend some audible books for me please? :)

If you like history try Truman or 1776 by David McCullough (and read by him). I don't remember who the author is but Lyndon Johnson in the Passage of Power is excellent (about the JFK assassination and  LBJ taking over, Civil rights act etc)

If you like westerns there are many Louis Lamour books.  Mysteries Tony Hillerman has several.

Almost any book has an audible. I get most of mine from the library.

We use it for the family so ive ended up listened to everything from Horton hears a who, Winnie the Pooh, the Harry Potter Series, to I am Spock, Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, Game of Thrones and Einstein by Walter Isaccson and even Snowball.

The way I recommend books for audible is to typically choose long autobiographies. I also purchase with credits so I feel like I am getting the biggest bang for my buck. Examples are Titan and Snowball. Two extremely long books that are normally north of 30 dollars(Snowball right now is showing as 60) and can be purchased for one credit at 14 dollars.

I whould recommend  to rent it at your local library , if you like  it you always can buy later, i just finished with  "the Worlds at war : the 2,500-year struggle between East and West " great book.

Our library will even download many to your phone via the internet, you don't even have to go there.

Another free option is Librivox. Not always perfect audio, but pretty good. Books I've enjoyed:

 

- Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie.

- Letters from a self made merchant to his son.

- The autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

- The Meditations.

 

Others I've downloaded that I haven't started:

- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

- Letters of Ulysses S Grant to his father and youngest sister.

- Moral Letters  (Seneca)

- Of peace of Mind (Seneca)

- Of the shortness of Life (Seneca)

- The history of the decline and fall of the roman empire - Edward Gibbon.

- The wealth of nations.

Stress Test, written and read by Timothy Gneitner

 

Its that much more revealing when the man reads the whole thing. And he did a good job .... both writing and reading it.

I listen to loads of audiobooks. Some recent ones that I enjoyed are Red Notice and The Emperor Far Away. Almost all new titles of a certain size gets narrated these days, so that's good.

 

I like to come back to some titles that I have read the regular way and listen to them too. A nice way to freshen up on the material without having to focus as intently on it as if reading. Free my hands for dishwashing, driving or whatever.

I really enjoyed Snowball, Stress Test and We Learn Nothing (useless, but entertaining essays about life).

However, I don't recommend the Franklin Biography by Walter Isaacson.
