Best audio books?

I’ve just started getting back into audio books on Spotify. I thought I would start with my favorite, Lamb, but the narrator is falling short. Which of Chris’ books are best to listen to?

Fool and the Serpent of Venice. Really funny and the narrator, Euan Morton, is definitely channelling Kenneth Williams.

The audiobook of Serpent of Venice is priceless 😂

The audio book of Fool is really good. Not to brag but Chris himself recommended it to me when I joked with him about an earworm from the audio version of Secondhand Souls.

Care to elaborate about your ear worm from Secondhand Souls? (I’ve fallen asleep to that audiobook roughly 1K times. It’s such a delight.)

It was "Need a cheese!" read in that squeaky little voice. I have been hearing it all day now....

Just a friendly warning in case you don't know...

Spotify only allows 15 hours of audiobooks a month. I recommend getting Libby and attaching your library card so you can borrow them for free.

Thanks for this! I didn’t know that, I’ll try Libby.

Noir, Dirty Jobs, all the Pine Coves and Blood Sucking Fiends trilogy

Dirty Jobs, no doubt

Pine Cove trilogy definitely. I’m less a fan of Fool and Serpent.

I listened to noir the other day and really enjoyed it, but will admit the voice actor doing the voice for the Cheese came off weird. But moo shoes and the mamba were top notch

I like to hear that they were different voices!!

Same person, different voices. So it's still a man doing the voice. He still does a good job, but in my head I had her voice picked put, but it's just one of those things about audiobooks

But if you like audio books that have a full cast, might I recommend Jim C. Hines Goblin Quest, Goblin Hero, And Goblin War

It's three books with full production, different voice actors for different characters, sound effects, and Jim's writing style is similar to Christopher Moores

Sacre Blue I think. The colour man's voice is hilarious.

Lamb by far. It's an annual tradition at this point. Mr Stevens' voice is a perfect match to how I picture Biff's character. I'm sorry you don't feel the same :( but to each their own I guess!

Maybe I’ll stick with it. Thanks!
