Our site LearnOutLoud.com is coming up with a list of the greatest audio books of all time. We focus on nonfiction, self development, and classic literature and we've compiled a list of a number of potential titles.
Of course we haven't listened to them all yet and some of them have multiple versions so I was just looking for suggestions and pointing out any obvious omissions that we have made. Also if there's multiple versions (especially of classic literature titles) we are trying to figure out what the best version is. So here's the list we've made so far. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
