After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can’t focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I’m thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

    A few of my favourites are Steven Pacey (already mentioned in another post) reading The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. Jefferson Mayes who reads the sci-fi series The Expanse by James S.A. Corey. James Marsters reading the Dresden Files is a ton of fun, his pacing and comedic timing brings those books to life. My all time favourite though is Frank Muller who did so many novels through his career but his work with some of Stephen Kings books was on another level.
