Question: What fantasy and/or science fiction audiobooks would you recommend?
Please tell me your favorites so I can listen to them! =)
If possible, I would like a list under categories “fantasy,” “science fiction,” or “both.” A special notification if the title has good music would also be nice – good music is a nice bonus but not a requirement.
As always, thank you for participating and helping out!

A great one I listened to was “Spirits in the Wires” by Charles de Lint. It is not necessarily my favorite de Lint book, but the audiobook presentation is one of the best I’ve ever heard. It features two speakers, a male and a female, and they alternate depending on the character’s gender, but they each know how to do a variety of voices and accents.
“Spirits in the Wires” is part of de Lint’s Newford series. Another good book from that series is “The Onion Girl,” which has been recently made into an audiobook, though I haven’t heard it yet. I’m hoping my library will one day carry it, and I may order it from Amazon, if the price goes down.
I am currently listening to the audiobook of Richard Matheson’s “What Dreams May Come,” which is one of my favorite books, and it is about Heaven and Hell. For a more mainstream Matheson title, you might try “I Am Legend,” though I haven’t listened to the audiobook version of it.

Try the short stories of F.X. Toole. I got the collection when I was bargain hunting for books- it has his famous short stories, based on his time working in the boxing world. This includes “Million Dollar Baby,” which is what the movie is based off of. It’s really good.
The short stories are in a collection titled “Rope Burns.”
Toole also wrote a novel titled “Pound for Pound.” Try purchasing that one, too.
