I've somewhat recently become addicted to audiobooks. Every time I'm in my car or doing something mindless I put on an audiobook. I had a good stretch of one book I liked after another but now am looking to dig a little deeper. The books I've listened to so far were all books that I kept seeing being recommended over and over again.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Expeditionary Force Bobiverse Project Hail Mary The Martian The Expanse The Children of Time The Silo series Murderbot

Am I missing anything that gets consistently recommended?

What would you recommend that would fit with that list?

Other books I've tried but didn't love

Three body problem The Witcher books Wheel of Time

Something a bit off the beaten path to potentially discover something new:

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams, detective comedy in a fantasy world, a tiny sprinkle of horror. Great audiobook.

Trail of Lightning - Rebecca Roanhorse, post-apocalyptic world with elements of prime nation mythology.

Starship troopers - Robert Heinlein, is it hilarious criticism or unconditional support of the military industry? Who knows! I laugh my way through it, some take it very literal. Either way, great sci-fi with political commentary.

The left hand of the darkness - Ursula Le Guin, because no sci-fi list is completed without a Le Guin book. Exploration, action and discussions on the meaning of gender, written by the best sci-fi writer possibly ever.
