You know I find audiobooks too expensive.
Being an artist for a living, I listen to a lot of audio books. For some reason I can paint or do photoshop and keep up with a novel perfectly. Ask me a question, give me a call or send me an email (or get me hooked on Xmarks) and I have to click it off. Must be a left brain right brain thing. Anyway the cure for pricey audio books for me has become the library. Yes, the LIBRARY, remember those? I had kind of forgot they exist until about 5 years ago when I started working for myself and budget and time caused a resurgence in my consciousness.

San Diego libraries have decent collections of audio books on CD and I always have one going. I never worry about due dates because if I'm not done with a book, I just load the unfinished CDs onto iTunes and finish it off there. Also is a great way to travel with them on your iPod or IPhone. Also some libraries now have audio books to download and you can request audio books to be sent from other libraries. So favorites that I highly recommend in the audio department:

"Lolita" by Vladmir Nabokov (read by the very creepy Jeremy Irons)
"Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End" by Ken Follett (watch out, these are LOOOOONG)
"Brideshead Revisited" by Evelyn Waugh (again read by Irons, but not in a creepy way)
Anything by PG Woodhouse as long as it is read by Jonathan Cecil. His voices are hilarious! Great for driving.
"Fight Club," "Tell All," "Haunted," "Diary," "Lullaby" and "Rant" by Chuck Palahniuk. For those with edgier literary tastes.
"Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Suzanna Clarke (spectacular exploration of "good English magic" set in the Napoleonic wars. It is long. About 26 CDs but so worth it)
"Last Night at Twisted River" by John Irving

All of these books are great stories and read in a way that transports you.

Oh yeah, right now the print on paper book I am reading is Colleen Atwood's "The Blind Assassin".
