Alright /lit/ I'm going on vacation. I've got 2 audible credits left. What should I get?

Here is what I'm considering:

Jerusalem -- Alan Moore
Snow Crash -- Neal Stephenson
H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Omnibus
The Road -- Cormac McCarthy
2666 -- Roberto Bolaño

???

Give me some suggestions /lit/.

>> No.9764194

Jerusalem is shitty
Snow Crash is leddit tier
Lovecraft is kiddy shit
McCarthy in audiobook is a waste since his prosaic style is so strong youll miss most of the atmosphere
2666 is great but similarly not sure i would use an audiobook

tl;dr get some non fiction and learn something instead

>> No.9764209

I'd say Lovecraft off that list, but I haven't read the others. Jerusalem just seems terrible judging by the type of fans Alan Moore attracts imo.

Not op. What are some great non-fiction audiobooks? I occasionally listen to fiction on my way to work (books I've already read), but I'm looking to mix it up.

Even if you don't know which audiobooks are worth listening to, how about some general non-fiction you found interesting/worthwhile. No pop-science.

it sucks though, typical Moore drivel.

I used to like Moore, then I grew up and realised he's just an edgy manchild. Jerusalem was quite depressing to read, it made me go back and re-evaluate Moore's comics, and it turns out that his best work was at DC under strict editorial guidance

WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO WITH THESE JEZEBELS? All I want to do is come here for an asexual experience that will exercise my brain but I am constantly titillated by these vixens with their prodigious hips and provocative figures. Can I never satiate this thirst, will I ever know the touch of a woman and enter between her loins? Will my seed ever drip from her moistened hole?

Life is a constant hell. No wonder I resent women too.

Why don't you read?
If you listen to these audiobooks while being busy, you might as well don't read, since you won't pay enough attention.
The only kind of literature that migh be enhanced by being in an audio format is poetry, tbqhwy
