Brave new World
Enders Game
Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy

I had a sweet audio book of Brave New World where every charactor was a different voice and they were English actors. But I dont remember who put it out, I've tried finding the same one but no luck.
I just DL'ed the original hitch hikers guide to the galaxy tv show from the 80's, it's full of sweet samples.

Dont you ever read books tho? This might just end up being a name your favorite book thread as anything worth reading can be found in audio book format.

There's more than one version.

Audio books are gold mines. And depending on which ones, no background sound!
