These are some of my favorite audio books. While many other books could be on this list - for example Peter Kenny could fill up half the list - I have kept it to one narrator one book and tried to refrain from populating this with books from my top ten novels lists. Enjoy the audio!

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
4 stars
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns …
Ezra Ingram says: Neil Gaiman is one of those rare writers who is also a fantastic narrator. Though he has certainly improved significantly over the years ( I wouldn't recommend his narration of Coraline as whole heartedly as Norse Mythology or Smoke and Mirrors).

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
4 stars
Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space-and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family …
Ezra Ingram says: Narrated by Rachel Dulude. While I am not super familiar with everything Dulude has done, she immediately sprang to mind because of how well she nails the tone and character work in Chambers' books.

Ezra Ingram says: Narrated by Simon Vance, who is so prolific as a narrator that it was hard to choose a book for him. You'd be just as well off going with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or even The Three Musketeers. Vance is a master of his craft and delivers a fantastic performance every time.

4 stars
From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing …
Ezra Ingram says: David Sedaris - while his voice may be something of an acquired taste - is another author who manages to be a fantastic narrator of his own work.
-

4 stars
Five New Yorkers must come together in order to defend their city.
Every city has a soul. Some are as …
Ezra Ingram says: Notable runner up on my top ten audiobooks list: Narrated by Robin Miles who also narrates Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy and is one of a few great narrators for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
