Before we get to the individual picks, we should note that all of the recommended audiobooks below are available on Audible, and for $15 a month, you can get all of them for free via a monthly Audible subscription. Our 17 authors’ 18 favorite audiobooks span genres, too, so there’s something for everyone - they also feature narrators as compelling as the material itself, from A-list celebrities like Diane Keaton and Armie Hammer to the books’ authors themselves. In speaking to these authors, many also noted the other inherent benefit of having a book read to you: That you are more likely to actually finish it, because you can listen while doing other things, like the dishes, walking, driving, or simply sitting on the couch. Seeing as we’re living through a particularly stressful time right now, we thought we’d take the opportunity to ask some of our favorite authors about the audiobooks they like to have read to them when they’re feeling particularly frazzled, frenetic, or frustrated. It’s why we were read to in bed as toddlers, and it’s the reason the Von Trapp children all rush into Maria’s room as soon as the thunderstorm hits in The Sound of Music. Having a story read to us has calmed humans down for centuries.
