There are five on the list that I have on audio book but haven’t listened to them yet (and I have had them for at least a year):
10. Atlas Shrugged
9. On the Origin of Species
7. 1984, George Orwell
5. The Wealth of Nations
4. Moby Dick
I checked out Art of War audiobook from the library, but didn’t get to it, either
It’s not like that’s the norm for me, either. I have listened to over 100 audio books, including most of Jane Austen, several Dickens (including A Tale of Two Cities) and I rarely start and then fail to finish.
I neglected my education in classic literature when I was younger, and I’m using my time in the car to try to catch up on some of it. I just can’t bring myself to start 63 hours of Atlas Shrugged. Anthem (128 pages) seems to be the right dose of Rand for me. Interesting concepts, strange style.
Audio books are great, perfect for driving when your eyes are occupied; I tried one on a train trip once and I was like: what do I do with my eyes?!?!?!
Hubby and I listened to a bunch of them while we had a hour commute (each way) for a few years.
By far the best one (and I’ve recommended this many times here, so forgive me for repeating myself) is World War Z by Max Brooks.
It’s abridged, but they’ve got multiple people reading the parts so it’s like a play almost. Mark Hammill reads/plays the hero and he is EXCELLENT.
Not high-end lit, but a really, really fun listen.
