Given that audiobooks are books read aloud, we should be nominating based on awesome narrators, right?

Stay is read by the author, who does a great job at what I think is an infrequent and underappreciated phenomenon.

The New Jim Crow similarly has a great narrator.

Legacy of Ashes has the perfect deep voice for the topics of the book.

Here's a question for you / others: what librivox (Slash other free) audiobooks have narrators that made a book especially worth a listen?

Thanks for the suggestions! I have saved it and all of the others here.

I totally agree on Legacy of Ashes. It's one of those books I bring down the speed to normal.

Never used Librivox before. Except maybe once or twice randomly. But all in all I have never been impressed with it. When I am torrenting, I get all my audiobooks from a private tracker. Let me give librivox a shot and I will get back to you.
