I recommend Arcadia by Iain Pears. Very interesting, great audiobook narrator. My best random find of the year.

For a comfy thread I'd recommend the comfy Arcadia by Iain Pears.
I just read it and I think this book is great! Fantasy, sci-fi, satisfyingly made time travel, even a small murder mystery - this book has everything. And the main audiobook narrator is great too.

I'm a third of the way through of the audiobook Arcadia by Iain Pears and I think it's great. An interesting sci-fi, fantasy (with some commentaries on both) and historical novel. Good characters, great settings, intriguing narrative structure.
I recommend.
