Books
I appreciate good audio book recommendations although my interests in audio books are pretty specific. There is nothing worse than looking forward to a book you've heard good things about and then getting the audio book and having the complete yuck reaction to the clown blundering through the thing while you listen helplessly.
I was very interested in hearing the unabridged version of the book that the movie "7 Years In Tibet" was made from, but whoever read the version I listened to sounded so completely bored and detached from the story that I had to replay and LISTEN to the words very carefully because nothing about his tone engaged me at all. And it was a freaking interesting book!
I like it when authors read their own books, unless they have a particularly annoying voice.
