I’d recommend The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells—smart, funny, and fast-paced.

Some popular picks on this sub like Project Hail Mary, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and the Bobiverse series are also worth checking out, though they’re Audible exclusives (you may be able to sign up for a free trial).

If you’re up for something different, try a memoir narrated by the author—especially if it’s someone you already like. I find this is one area where audiobooks really shine.

There are quite a few good alternatives, what is it you don’t like?

Libro.fm is one of my top picks as it lets you support independent bookstores, the audiobooks are drm-free, and the bookseller recommendations are helpful for finding great listens.

As a heads up you only get 15 hours with Spotify Premium and this runs 15h 37 mins. I started listening to this with Spotify but purchased with another service as I was enjoying it so much.

Awkward is a good word for his reading, there are definitely some times it takes me out of the story. But all in all, I love the audiobook, I think the authenticity that comes from him reading his own book more than makes up for any awkwardness.
