I strongly recommend the audiobooks of Iain Banks work as read by Peter Kenny or Anton Lesser.
Absolute genius, the best audiobooks I’ve heard behind Nicol Williamsons The Hobbit.
In particular, listen to Excession and The Algebraist.
I never tire of the audiobook of the Algebraist, amazing.
Anton Lesser reading The Algebraist is the strongest case for why AI should never be used for narrating audiobooks.
- baq 3y agoIf you like scifi audiobooks, try The Expanse.
- andrewstuart 3y agoI have the first one, it’s good I enjoy it. Great recommendation.
- mcculley 3y agoWhat makes you think computers will never be better than humans at reading books aloud?
- andrewstuart 3y agoPeter Kenny reading Excession and Anton Lesser reading The Algebraist and Nicol Williamson reading The Hobbit.
- mcculley 3y agoMany spoke similarly of Garry Kasparov and Lee Sedol.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI'd love to hear Gary Kasparov's reading of The Hobbit.
- unsupp0rted 3y ago> The only desire the Culture could not satisfy from within itself was one common to both the descendants of its original human stock and the machines they had (at however great a remove) brought into being: the urge not to feel useless.
- chrisweekly 3y agoAgreed - Peter Kenny is phenomenal.
- rsynnott 3y agoPeter Kenny does a lot of sci-fi narration; he's always very good.
