World War Z is fantastic as an audiobook. If you're not familiar, it's written as a set of interviews of people who lived through a zombie war. The author, Max Brooks, voices the narrator/journalist and actors like Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Carl and Rob Reiner voice the various interviewees. Mark Hamill doing the Battle of Yonkers is a highlight.

I really like all three of those guys but for some reason the podcast doesn't work for me. It feels forced or disingenuous or something I can't quite put my finger on.
Ah, good point.
I thought I read that it was due to people trying to delete from subs that were private so it didn't succeed. I deleted my account and all content several days before the blackout and all mine are still gone.
Finishing up Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. I'm on book 10, The Crippled God. It's taken almost 2 years because I had a kid in the middle of it.
I can't even begin to describe how dense and fantastic it is. I feel like it's spoiled fantasy for me. I can't imagine anyone else ever coming close. Going to take a break for a while and read something else before trying another series in that world.
Just wait till you hit chapter 95, The Cassock. I took an AP English class more than 20 years ago that focused mainly on Moby Dick and that chapter still sticks out in my mind.
