World War Z is fantastic as an audiobook. If you're not familiar, it's written as a set of interviews of people who lived through a zombie war. The author, Max Brooks, voices the narrator/journalist and actors like Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Carl and Rob Reiner voice the various interviewees. Mark Hamill doing the Battle of Yonkers is a highlight.

I really like all three of those guys but for some reason the podcast doesn't work for me. It feels forced or disingenuous or something I can't quite put my finger on.
Finishing up Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. I'm on book 10, The Crippled God. It's taken almost 2 years because I had a kid in the middle of it.
I can't even begin to describe how dense and fantastic it is. I feel like it's spoiled fantasy for me. I can't imagine anyone else ever coming close. Going to take a break for a while and read something else before trying another series in that world.
Just wait till you hit chapter 95, The Cassock. I took an AP English class more than 20 years ago that focused mainly on Moby Dick and that chapter still sticks out in my mind.
