Do you /lit/ Bros have any recommendations for audiobooks to fall asleep to? Something that you can just sort of turn your brain off and enjoy without having to really think about.

I would think that War and Peace would require a lot of attention to keep track of everything.

Some libertarians actually are coherent and interesting and don't just write bad architecture rape fanfiction.

Fair enough my dude. What’s your favorite novel or story?

You want my recommendation?
Pick out an OpenCourseWare series on youtube (any of them will work) and put it on.
Remember how easy it was to fall asleep when a teacher is talking? It's like that.

Sadly I'm too erudite to have a favourite.
Measures Taken by Brecht is an amazing under rated play.
For Genre it has to be Aubrey/Maturin | George Smiley.
Shakespeare used to be Hamlet, but Hamlet is a failure compared to Titus Andronicus. But Richard III is the best.
Kurosawa's Ran is the best Shakespeare though (only the telescript in consideration, leave the direction aside for the moment.)
I do quite like The Name of the Rose.
I find you can force read anything *hard* into being good, but Empire of the Sun is rather amusing if you open your eyes to what's actually happening, more so than Tower or Crash.
Zola is of course a master of simple tales for simple people, to the point where Zola doesn't even realise what he's writing half the time *cough* Etienne is the villain of Germinal
Victor Serge is underrated
Koestler is underrated
Clarkesworld is my favourite sci fi monthly
And Greg Egan is the most important australian writer of the day.

I fell these would require and deserve more attention than listening to an audiobook.

The Lord of the Rings is the best audiobook you will ever listen to. It's read by this old dude who is basically the grandpa we all wish we had: he makes different voices for all the characters and he actually sings all the songs! Seriously, regardless of what you think of LotR, this guy elevates audiobook reading to an art. Highly recommended!
