(Part 3) Top products from r/audiobooks

Finished my third "reading" and first listening-to of The Time Ships, a great book, an official sequel to The Time Machine written by Stephen Baxter. If you like amazingly complex stories of time travel, it's a real treat. Best of all was the performance by the reader, who got all the accents perfect, including Nebogpifel, the Morlock from the year 657,208. Highly recommended!

I loved Ready Player One, written by Ernest Cline and read by Wil Wheaton.

I just finished this book last night, I listened to it at every moment it was so fun. Engaging, interesting, exciting, new, GOOD.

I listened to "Lost Horizon" by James Hilton, read by Richard Green. I was only able to get it on cassette (ex-library), but it was a fun listen. It's from the 1930s and is where the story of Shangrila came from.

I'm currently listening to Born to Run by Christopher McDougall , read by Fred Sanders.

It's about how the author, a writer and (broken) runner, went on a quest to uncover the secrets of a tribe of very long distance runners in Mexico. This book might be one of the more popular to inspire the "barefoot running" movement.

I just published my own audiobook, and I have a free code if you’re in the US or UK! It’s a YA sci-fi called Returning the Golden-Eyed Girl , and it’s about a girl who gets trapped in a floating city. Let me know if you’re interested!

If you're in the mood of pranking/educate her, pick the better version: Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.

I've got nothing for horror, but have you read Paranoia yet? That was a surprise hit for me, sort of thriller-ish, but not in the guns blazing kind of way.

While not strictly about Statistics Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman looks into the science of decision making and how people aren't good at statistical thinking. It's a fascinating book and does have some basic discussions on statistics.

I'd strongly recommend the Stormdancer series by Jay Kristoff

I stumbled across the recently, it's the first fantasy series I've listened to with a Japanese tone to it.

It's kinda like the Last Samurai (the awful Tom Cruise movie) meets How to Train Your Dragon.

Mindy Kaling's book is hilarious.

A righteous mind by Jonathan Haidt
