As far as i am considered the great use for an iPod is for audio books. I could (if i wanted to) read the books but i find it easier, and nicer for the 3-4 hour drives home to be able to listen to them. I might as well list some of the books i have read/listened to and then everyone can give suggestions for others.

Books read/listened to:
1. All current Harry Potter books (I actually read these ones) - liked them a lot
2. All 12 Left Behind books - very good and suggest them
3. All Sherlock Holmes books - Again very good if you like the deductive reasoning
4. The Lovely Bones (by Alice Sebold) - this one was a suggestion by my sister and I enjoyed the book
5. The Lord of the Rings books - read the first 2 and listened to the third. Highly suggest them as it will give you an idea what what was left out of the movies
6. Angles and Demons (by Dan Brown) - very good
7. Da Vinci Code (by Dan Brown) - another good Dan Brown book
8. Digital Fortress (by Dan Brown) - another good one
9. Deception Point (by Dan Brown) - good book
10. All the Chronicles of Narnia books - very good and I was impressed by the movie also
11. Bridge to Teribithia (by Katherine Peterson) - not to bad

So, with those ones that i have read/listened to, what suggestion does anyone have. Feel free to list as many as you like.

Thanks
 
I've enjoyed the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency (Alexander McCall Smith) [read by Lisette Lecat], A Series of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket) [read by Tim Curry] and the Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich) series [unabridged versions only, read by Lorelei King].

Wouldn't be caught dead reading any of them in book form, but the narration is so well done makes for a good listen...

I listened to most of the Shannara series (Terry Brooks) and the Ender series (Orson Scott Card). I thought they were good.

I've been listening so some great classics. The nararator is very important: Here are a couple of my favorites:

Don Quixote: Audible has serveral versions, but the one narrated by Robert Whitfield was superb!

1984: great book. Orwell was a man who saw the future.

Huck Finn: Norman Dietz is a good nararator for Mark Twain books.
Tom Sawyer: Norman Dietz again.
