What's a title that is worth it (to you) to have both the physical copy and the audiobook? (lemmy.world)

There are only a few books that I've experienced both ways. I'm wondering if this is an area for exploration.

Not truly an audiobook, but the BBC has a performance of The Lord of the Rings that's really good. It even has Ian Holm (Bilbo from the movies) in it. But he was younger then, so he plays Frodo.

Lord of the rings performed by andy serkis is quality as well

I have yet to listen to Andy Serkis do LoTR, Rob Inglis does a great narration, but the fan-made, unauthorized, copyright infringing masterpiece by Phil Dragash is the best imho.

The one by Phil Dragash is magnificent. Truly a work of art and love.
