What are your favorite books on Audible?

6 points by jedberg ↗ HN
My daughter somehow activated an Audible Plus account for us, and we didn't notice until my wife got an offer for a free book yesterday. Since we never buy audiobooks we never checked that section of the "your purchases".

So, before I cancel the subscription that no one uses, I have to burn through the 12 credits that I have.

Anyone have a favorite audiobook they suggest?

"Ready Player One" is good. I hope you and the family enjoy it.

A credit can buy much, more than a single 6-ish hour book. Search for "complete" or "compendium" or "collection" to find many, many hours of entertainment available for a single credit.

- Collected Stories of Arthur C Clarke, 51 hours! https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Collected-Stories-of-Arthur-C...

- eight audio plays from Agatha Christie https://www.audible.com/pd/Poirots-Finest-Cases-Audiobook/B0...

- 30 classic detective stories https://www.audible.com/pd/Thirty-Great-Detective-Stories-Au...

- HP Lovecraft mythos story collection https://www.audible.com/pd/Haggopian-and-Other-Stories-A-Cth...

Sometimes a single "book" is very substantial:

- Anna Karenina narrated by Maggie Gyllenhaal, 36 hours for a single credit: https://www.audible.com/pd/Anna-Karenina-Audiobook/B01FN88BH...

- 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami https://www.audible.com/pd/1Q84-Audiobook/B005XZM7R6

- 25 hours: Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Voyage-of-the-Beagle-Audioboo...

Enjoy!
