Ready Player One

Fuzzy Nation

Those are three that come to mind right off the bat.

He did a great job with Ready Player One.

I did the opposite (Perth - Melbourne). First up, it's easy. The roads all the way are busy, and there's no "middle of nowhere" where your life might be in any kind of danger if you break down etc.

It takes ages. It's one thing to know Australia is super big, it's another thing to drive across the island. But it's beautiful, too. I was grateful that I wasn't going to have to turn around and come back any time soon when I arrived, though.

If you are in a super hurry, you can do it 4 full days of driving. With two rotating drivers, and a bit of risk (don't drive at night unless you really have to, your odds of hitting something and damaging your car are not insignificant), you can do it in about three days.

If you're in a rush, Drive Melbourne to Adelaide on day one. Ceduna day two. Noresman day three, Arrive in Perth at the end of day 4. I took 5 days, but I stayed a night on the Nullabor and had a leisurely time of it. If you aren't in a hurry, and haven't seen the Great Ocean Road, take that road. So beautiful.

Other than that, the trip is pretty straight-forward. Treat your drive like you would a day at work. Stop for lunch, have a few little breaks. Maybe work back a little. You'll do fine.

Take something to listen to. I had Audiobooks. As a suggestion if you haven't already read it: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. If you're new to Audible, you should be able to download it for free. Read by Wil Wheaton, about a far-too-possible future for Humanity/Internet/Second Life kind of thing. Full of 80's pop culture.

Ready Player One is a story about the future of VR [Oasis] and the struggle over who will run it. I hope all the VR Enthusiast read or listen to the book. It's a great story. I don't want to put out spoilers if you haven't checked the book out. The significance of this video becomes apparent after you've reached a little ways into the story. Also the audio book is narrated by Wil Wheaton.

If you like stuff like this, I recommend reading Ready Player One! by Earnest Cline (also available in audiobook read by Wil Wheaton).

Ahh shit, I did not really see the part about you wanting longer audio. Book length is pretty short for litrpg so this is really tough.

The best I can do for that criteria is recommend good long audiobooks but they wont be litrpg.

Ready Player One is a self explanatory recommendation. 16 hours

Super Powereds super hero book. Super long at 26hours per book and 4 books total in series

Wool followed by Shift followed by Dust. Its an international bestseller post-apocalyptic drama. I dont really like drama but this one is amazing

Three body problem followed by Dark Forest followed by Deaths end . Its a three part ultra hard core science fiction. There are moments when it gets boring only to turn around and fuck your mind so hard you wont know what hit you. Written by a Chinese author which introduces an interesting perspective on things you dont see with American authors. 14/23/25 hours

Dresden Files is a great long running series with avg 16h per book

I find that authors reading their own books is usually a good thing. Anthony Bourdain reading Kitchen Confidential and John Hodgeman reading The Areas of My Expertise are my favorite examples.

Old Man's War has an excellent narrator. And I know the opinion on Ready Player One is rather polarized, but if you are interested Wil Wheaton's narration is great.

Both editions:

https://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Ready-Player-One-Audiobook/B007PR4J4E

are unavailable for me (audible.com from Europe)

also both amazon.com audiobook editions are unavailable:

Give this a try. It is excellent if you are remotely into video games or you grew up in the 80's.

This won't help your LD but audio books are a way to get into "reading" if that is a goal you are aiming for.

Ready Player One is the freaking best. I had a 13 year old recommend it to me (I'm 31) and I was GLUED.

The obvious book to read would be Ready Player One. I highly recommend the audio book narrated by Wil Wheaton.
