Audiobooks That Sound Better Than the Printed Versions
Listening to a book can make time disappear during long drives, workouts and vacuum-the-house sessions. Here's the best of the bunch—ones that put you right into the story from first spoken word.
By Leigh Newman
By Janis Ian
Memoirs and autobiographies read by the author make for such intimate, compelling audiobooks; you get to hear the real voice of the real human being behind the real story (Think about:
Bossypants, by Tina Fey and
The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls). But
Society's Child—Janis Ian's look at the turbulent, eye-opening 1960s—goes a step deeper by incorporating her songs and guitar music into the recording.
