Does /lit/ know which books have translated to audio book format well? I am about to start an hour long commute and i want to make the time useful by listening to audio books. I assume some books translate better to spoken form than others and i need help finding out which ones.
Any suggestions?

Mark Twains short stories are good on audio book
Its like listening to your granddad telling you stories "bout when he was a youngster"

I can't stand George RR Martin's writing style, but the audiobooks for ASOIAF made it bearable.

Donna Tart and Thomas Harris. Great genre fiction makes good audio-books.
