Dr Sleep. Stephen King. There’s an excellent version read by the actor Will Patton.
I actually returned Salem’s Lot for a credit because I just couldn’t stand how dull his books seem to read aloud
Horns by Joe Hill is very well written and I thought the narrator was fantastic.
Perhaps you’re right. Maybe I liked it because I’m old and slow ?
I love his books, just cannot stand the way they’re read. At least Salem’s Lot and I listened to a sample of IT. @Caitlin, I loved Horns!
Connie Willis has some lengthy time travel stories. Some of my favorite books ever. “Doomsday Book” is 26.5 hours.
“Blackout” is 18 hours. The sequel to Blackout, “All Clear”, is 23 hours.
Karin Slaughter’s The Good Daughter was gripping and well read.
I liked doctor sleep on audio. I listened to it right after the Shinning but it could be a stand alone.
I don’t remember how long it was tho.
I liked Raven Boys. I liked the narration and it’s a series.
Loved this one! I’ve listened to 15+ in the last couple months and this is one of my faves
I’m thinking of getting It by Stephen King on audio because I want to read it but I’m overwhelmed by how long it is and don’t want to lug it around with me.
11.22.63 by king. The passage by Justin Cronin
11.22.63 was a good read.
the forgotten garden
The Nightingale is now audio and it’s a wonderful book!
4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster
The Jane Smiley Hundred years trilogy starting with Some Luck is wonderful.
11.22.63 Stephen King ??????????????????? I’m not A King fan, but this book!!!!!!
Agree. Great story.
Also love his Dark Tower series. (Movie adaptation awful).
Sure, Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, or You Must Become What You Think About by Earl Nightingale… or 19 mins that could change your life by Earl Nightingale all great stuff ?
It by Stephen King is 45 hours. Swan Song by Robert McCammon is excellent and is 34+ hours. I also loved The Terror by Dan Simmons at 28.5 hours.
Game of Thrones. It’s very long and very good!
The witching Hour by Anne Rice
Mr. Mercedes. Stephen king
Loved the series!
DUNE by Frank Herbert, it’s about a 6 book series and every single book is good
Only the first three are worth reading, the others not so much.
Every single book is good. To me. ??♀️
11/22/63 by Stephen King
I’m listening to samples of all these lol
Harry Potter could be fun!
I honestly thought about that even though I’ve read them so many times.
And the narrator is phenomenal! Still had me on the edge of my seat…and then I was like “seriously?! You’ve seen the movies and read the books HOW many times?!” Still was let down when they ended!
agree Harry Potter is great on auto book. I listened to them even though I had read them a couple of times. Narration is wonderful, and there is something special about listening to the books in a British accent
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton.
Wolf’s Hour by Robert McCammon, anything by Jonathan Maberry
The Stand. American Gods.
The Passage. 37 hours of well written wonderful narration. Not just a great horror story, but great characterization.
And it has a sequel and another sequel that are just as long!!!!!! (Justin Cronin is the author. The 2nd book is The Twelve but i can’t remember the third).
The City of Mirrors! (I liked 1 best. And the 3rd second best.)
I’m still listening to The Passage; I’m maybe 4 hours in!
Wool by Hugh Howey is good, long and SCI FI!
11/22/63 by Stephen King
My favorite YA author is A. S. King
Red Rising…it’s the start of a great sci-fi YA trilogy
Excellent books, I need to reread the first 2 now so I can read the third!! 😀
I was obsessed with these. I was reading through this thread to see if someone had suggested it!
I like suspense thrillers and she does it good
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell might fit.
The vampire academy, long series, I loved it. Obviously it’s YA
Very good series and the follow up Bloodlines is also excellent.
I really like The Handmaid’s Tale
Unwind by neal shusterman
Lonesome Dove, so good!
Lonesome dove was great
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter . I listened to it it while waiting for my book to be available. Good thriller , first chapter is slow as it introduces characters but it becomes a very interesting psychological thriller
World War Z unabridged. Max brooks inteviews survivors of the zombie wars in an oral history. It’s got a great all star cast.
The Gold Finch is over 40hrs long and a great book
