Guns, Germs & Steel . I downloaded it from a torrent. It's a deadly book.

I have a ton of HP Lovecraft stuff that I listened to before I sleep. Theres a great version of Shadow over Innsmouth and The Dunwich Horror. I also have some MR James Stuff and more Sherlock Holmes than you can fit in a Hanson cab...

I was going to do a megaupload link for the Lovecraft for another site I can post link here if you want..

I got his box set there a few years ago.
With that guy's delivery he's someone you'd recommend on audio rather than traditional.

I listen to lecture series from the Teaching Company, some are great, some not so much

There's some Christopher Lee reading Poe floating about the place.

I would third this suggestion. I have 2 of his box sets and his delivery completely makes the stories. I would go audio over paper with hm each time. I was listening to these while walking to work and I would laugh aloud to have people staring at me. Hilarious stuff.

Also Topic of Cancer by Henry Miller read by Campbell Scott is a good one. Although, you might need to be a girl to appreciate some of those lines coming off his tongue. Holy hell.

Ulysses read by Bishop Len Brennan (Naxos).

Some quality suggestions guys.
Thanks.

Big Stephen Fry fan so I'll definitely be checking those out.

Steven Fry does a lot of audiobooks (he's done the entire Harry Potter series himself) so you'll have plenty to keep you going.

At The Mountains of Madness is pretty good too.. I'll have to get the shadow over innsmouth, one of my favorite H.P. stories!

We didn't have any racism in Ireland til those feckin' foreigners brought it over with them.

Yeah, but they got the idea from Lovecraft, he technically invented it
