I’ve actually been listening to Ilium by Dan Simmons the last few nights at work, and it’s pretty amazing, I like books that are dense, but not mind numbingly boring, and his writing seems to fit the bill.
Read 1984 back when I was in middle school, and someone stole my copy, so that was one of the first audiobooks I picked up.
I’ll have to check out The Coming Plague, one of the only things I worry I might not be able live through is the return of something like the Spanish flu.
and Atlas Shrugged is also already on the ipod for future listening.
Thanks.
I’d check to see which version you have. There are many, but the best one is the unabridged audiobook of Atlas Shrugged. The version read by Christopher Hurt.
I’d also suggest Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide, and World War Z.
