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 Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson narrates his own hilarious, thought-provoking nonfiction books, and by listening to him, you hear the story exactly as he wrote it—with every punchline perfectly different. In a Sunburned Country, a tour of the lethal animals of Australia, isn’t so much about the plot as it is about the quirky nature of both the country and the author. Our alternate choice? A Short History of Nearly Everything.
