    • If Jordan Petersen had a delightful young cousin
    • ''I feel certain that I will die on a hill someday shouting that Adrian Mole is completely underappreciated in this country. In this first diary, young Adrian, who lives in an unremarkable town in the Midlands of England, wrestles with an unrequited crush that he's convinced is actually one of the world's greatest love stories, his parents' complicated—and to him frankly juvenile—marital problems, and an overwhelming sense that he is special; that he and his unique intellect are not (as the kids today say but didn’t in the 80s) 'seen.' With almost every entry bound to make you laugh, I dare anyone to not absolutely adore this kid.'' —Emily, Audible Editor

    • The Russian novel Russians love
    • ''I recently deep-dived on Russian classics for our editors’ podcast, Audicted, focusing on Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. But guess what? Those heavy-hitters aren’t nearly as beloved back home as Bulgakov, and this book is widely considered the country’s favorite novel. I didn’t know *anything* could make me love Russian literature more, but that did it. This hallucinatory satire of 1930s Stalinist Moscow, in which the devil and his entourage come to town to raise hell, includes a gun-toting cat, a fascinating imagining of Pontius Pilate, and exquisite narration by Julian Rhind-Tutt. If you’re looking for what one reviewer calls “a complete acid trip of a novel,” your search ends here.'' —Kat, Audible Editor

    • Easily the most compelling set of short stories ever
    • ''Containing the inspiration for the movie Arrival, Stories of Your Life and Others is a sublime collection that puts Ted Chiang’s virtuosic implementation of science front and center. More than that, each story is mathematical in its approach and structure, but the content somehow always transcends the human experience to ask profound questions about existence, emotion, and desire. The end result will leave you astounded that one writer could so precisely pinpoint the algorithms of sensation.'' —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • An odyssey without equal
    • ''In the 15 years since I wrote my undergrad critical thesis on the use of math as a metaphor in Ulysses, my appreciation of this classic has only grown. I spent months inching through Ulysses and adjacent works, from Richard Ellmann’s incredible biography to several ponderous tomes on religion and Ireland and mathematics. Years later, I barely remember my essay or the adjacent work—but Ulysses remains a permanent fixture in my mind for its unparalleled technical structure and multilayered nuance.'' —Sean, Audible Editor

    • I can’t talk about the best parts of this listen
    • ''This is a tough review to write because even mentioning its strengths will ruin the listening experience for those that haven’t had the pleasure. Here’s what I can say: For my money, Andrew Smith writes teen boys better than any living author—and the main character, Winger, may be his best boy yet. Winger’s struggles with sexuality, empathy, anger, and male friendship resonated with me on every level, and every single person I’ve recommended the book to later told me they loved it. (You’re welcome, too.)'' —Sean, Audible Editor

As a whole, The Silence of the Girls creates an experience that brings you so much closer emotionally to a story that continues to have profound influence.'' —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • Jamás pensé que podría amar un libro y odiar a un personaje al mismo tiempo
    • ''Thomas Spencer, el protagonista de esta novela expansiva (como las novelas de Julia Navarro suelen ser), se está muriendo y es una muy mala persona. Un maestro de la manipulación y la coerción (como los sociópatas suelen ser), Spencer nos lleva en un viaje por su vida, detallando cada instancia de su inhumanidad a lo largo de los años, lo cual me enredo como una telaraña que no me dejo descansar hasta que el hp por fin falleció. De cierta manera, Navarro causa en el oyente la misma frialdad frente a la muerte que exhibe su personaje principal, su poder como escritora es innegable e impresiónate. '' —Mariana, Audible Editor

    • Sleeping beauty, with a twist
    • ''Strong, world-conquering heroines are everywhere these days. I admire them, which might be why I’m also a little bored of them. Thank God for Ottessa Moshfegh, who has a knack for making miserable characters seductive. In My Year of Rest and Relaxation, a beautiful but angsty twentysomething decides to escape life with a boatload of pharmaceuticals and sleep—nearly constant sleep. It’s an ingeniously simple setup, made all the juicier from Oshfegh’s razor-sharp wit, the New York circa 9/11 setting, and world-weary narration by the always amazing Julia Whelan. Don’t sleep on it!'' —Kat, Audible Editor

    • I owe it all to John Irving
    • ''In John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany, the protagonist glories in the excellence of Canadian literature. And that’s how I first heard the name ‘Robertson Davies.‘ Fifth Business is one of my favorite novels of his, and definitely the best place to dive into Davies Deptford Trilogy. Mark Vietor’s witty, crisp, masterful performance makes 10 hours fly by with humor and awe. When people ask me about WWI novels, or Canadian authors, or hilarious gems…this suggestion never fails.'' —Christina, Audible Editor

    • My word, I adore an epistolary novel
    • ''A novel in letters allows an author to delve closely into the motivations of their characters and the intimacies between them, while leaving that empty space of events unsaid and unseen in which mystery can breathe. In Letters from Skye, Scottish poet Elspeth and American student David (both so perfectly voiced by two of my favorites Elle Newlands and Lincoln Hoppe) strike up a friendly correspondence that rapidly intensifies upon the start of WWI. What unfurls is both a love story and a multigenerational mystery that is beautiful, gripping, and ultimately hopeful.'' —Emily, Audible Editor

    • All-star narrators and a master storyteller
    • ''Denis Johnson’s stories are so refined, and transition so effortlessly, that there is often no noticeable distinction between the emotions they elicit. You might find yourself laughing at death, or worried for one of Johnson’s characters' untimely success. In this subtle way Johnson shocks his listeners into what I would guess is awareness, or clarity. At the very least, you can tell a book is good when it gets this many all-star narrators (Nick Offerman, Michael Shannon, Dermot Mulroney, Will Patton, and Liev Schreiber). They leave no stone of Johnson’s lyrical prowess unturned or unpolished.'' —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • ''I devoured this tale of the last days of Agnes Magnúsdóttir, a woman accused of murder in 19th century Iceland. I listened, as it happened, on a trip to Iceland—but even if I had been sitting in traffic in my car, the way Kent evokes the bleak, harsh scenery of the country, combined with Morven Christie’s impeccable performance, would have transported me.

    • 'I wonder if I’m a broken kid''
    • ''I never use the phrase “cycle of abuse” because it seems to me to lend a sense of form something that is necessarily labyrinthian. Jace, the main character in Split, embodies that complexity; he struggles to reconcile the abuse he’s suffered at the hands of his father with the violence he himself visited upon another. Swati Avasthi captures the conflicts that exist in many young men so well that I finished this entire listen in two sittings—and the brief break I did take made me feel like I’d abandoned Jace in his hour of need, which might be the highest praise I can give to a writer (and narrator).'' —Sean, Audible Editor

    • Zora Neale Hurston’s masterpiece—completely accessible
    • ''Thank the literary gods I picked up Their Eyes Were Watching God before I knew it was ‘a classic’ written in 1937 and published years later. I loved the story of Janie Crawford, reared by her Grandmother, married to a respectable but incompatible husband, who comes into her own at age 38—love, loss, and great storytelling ensue. Because Hurston was an anthropologist as well as novelist, narrator Ruby Dee has rich language to work with in personifying unforgettable characters.'' —Christina, Audible Editor
