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 think anything narrated by Julia Whelan is great. She has a beautiful voice, and does an amazing job of making each character have a unique voice. Both male and female characters which a lot of audio book narrators struggle with. It’s really impressive.
