Great audiobook narrations? (sopuli.xyz)

After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can't focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I'm thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

I still do both regular reading and audio. I definitely find that some narrators hold my attention better than others. I need to start noting the narrators along with the subject matter.

Yeah, the audiobooks I have tried haven't had the best narrators. Just too bland ones I guess.
