As I have been working on my house I have been listening to lots of audiobooks. I first finished listening to all of Douglas Adams books. This indcluded all five parts of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and his two Dirk Gently novels. I recommend them all, especially in audio format since they are read by the author who is good actor.
After finishing those I moved onto Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game series. I listened to the first on Patrick's recommendation and have since listened to book 2 and 3. I will begin listening to book 4 shortly. These are also very well done productions. They have about 4-6 actors play the roles throughout the books. The books change perspective often and it is nice to have the different voices to help with those transitions. The series is a really interesting sci-fi universe. The first book stands alone quite well and is a bit different from the sequels, but I have enjoyed them as well.
I am also reading the latest Harry Potter book The Half Blood Prince. I actually got it at a midnight sale with my friend Karen. She finished it that weekend, I am however a bit slower. I am over half way through and try to do about a chapter a night.
