Neil Gaiman Asks: Heard Any Good Books Lately?
Posted by: Mary Burkey
Audiobooks were featured on NPR’s Morning Edition as part of the Open Mic series today – an awesome program featuring two of the best author / narrators, Neil Gaiman and David Serdaris, both winners of the Audio Publishers Association’s Audie Award. Also part of the program are host Renee Montagne; professional narrator Martin Jarvis, who narrates the audiobook of Gaiman and Terry Pratchet’s Good Omens; audiobook director Rick Harris and Audible.com’s Don Katz. Listen in to the whole seven-minute program right here , or read the transcript here. A lovely homage to the power of the spoken word.

I recently finished listening to ‘Her Fearful Symmetry’ by Audrey Niffenegger which is read by Bianca Amata. It was incredibly read and a fascinating story.

I love listening to Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, and read by Davina Porter. It’s an amazing production.

Christopher Paul Curtis’ Bud, Not Buddy was so thoroughly enjoyable. The performer, James Avery, pulled me into this story and I think it’s the best Audio I’ve heard.
