Audiobooks?

I need some advise...

 

I've never done audio books, always afraid the narrator will suck and potentially take away from a book I might have loved if the narrator didn't suck :D  I'm considering now, because I have pink eye (ick) and it's cutting into my reading time because my eyes are too worn out to read :(  Yes, desperation is leading me to audio books, I'm addicted to books!

 

So as a newbie, should I get an audible account, or do you have another suggestion?

 

Also, what are some of your favorite audio books?

 

Thanks!!
