i alternate between reading a physical book and listening to an audiobook.
the last few years have mostly been occupied by sci-fi
a few robert heinlein favorite: stranger in a strange land (first audiobook, then picked up an expanded version with the original manuscript)
every single kurt vonnegut book - favorites in order: sirens of titan, cat's cradle, slaughterhouse 5
any and always anything new by chuck palahniuk - favorites: rant and choke
i'm several books in on arthur c clarke's bibliography. favs: childhood's end (of course! though i read that back in highschool), the rama series, odyssey series. currently on the last theorem.
i'm always collecting my favorite all time author hermann hesse. favs: glass bead game, der steppenwolf, siddhartha. i bought a few short story collections. currently reading narziss & goldmund for the 2nd time since highschool.
i've tried several other books. i don't always get far into them before getting bored. i liked neal steaphonson's snow crash and larry niven's ringworld. i listened to the entirety of the dune series. wasn't impressed. a lot of asimov, couldn't get into it.
