I've still got a free token or whatever on audible where I can pick an audio book I want. I already got Tower Lord to accompany the ebook.
Any books specifically good in audio?
I highly recommend Ready Player One's audiobook. Even if you didn't care for reading the book, I'd say give it a chance again because Will Wheaton does a hell of a job at narrating.
I listened to the first two Mass Effect books on audio. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't recommend it. Sorry for wasting your time.

I read the ebook a couple of years ago.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Get the version narrated by Nick Podehl. It's one of my favorite books of all time and easily the best audiobook performance I've ever heard.
Read this as well, even proposed my own theory on a certain tree dweller's identity (spoilers all). So you know I'm pretty into it. Can't wait for Day 3. Although, maybe I'll get the audio book anyways. People rave about it, and while it's rare for me to re-read, I might just do that before D3 comes out.
Believe it or not, I've actually narrated an audiobook that got published on Audible. If you're into WWI-era historical fiction told from a Texan's point of view, check it out.

World War Z has a pretty great cast. Not the movie of course. The audiobook.
Yeah, I second that. The book is really good, and the performances are on a whole different level than most audiobooks.
The cast include veterans of voice acting like Max Brooks (Justice League), Mark Hamill (Batman) and John Turturro (Cars 2), besides a list of pretty big names in Hollywood (Simon Pegg, Martin Scorcese, Alfred Molina, etc)
Remember that audible has two versions (a regular one and the unabridged one). If you are going to redeem your tokens, you should go for the longest one, since they both cost the same...
American Gods by Neil Gaiman or The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman if you're more in the mood for a creepy children's novel.
If you have any knowledge of the character, or perhaps not, then I highly recommend the Audiobook version of the Alan Partridge autobiography... it's one of the funniest things I've ever listened to (Alan Partridge is a fictional character in the UK who has had a TV/Radio career which has lasted since the early 1990s, he's truly one of the greatest continuity characters ever and it lends it self to the biography format well)
