Current/most recent audiobook: I am listening to Matterhorn
Impressions: This is a long audiobook nearly 26 hours but very intense. Some of the scenes in this Vietnam War novel will haunt me for a long time.
Current favorite audiobook: What is the What
One narrator who always makes you choose audio over print: I usually don’t choose an audiobook based on the narrator but have come to like John Lee, Cassandra Campbell and Bahni Turpin
Genre you most often choose to listen to: I listen to primarily non fiction and memoirs on audio. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
If given the choice, you will always choose audio when: Memoirs especially when read by the author. Current favoite here is Bossypants
If given the choice, you will always choose print when: Novels with large casts of characters and time shifts. I need to go back and reread and keep everyone straight, especially in the early pages.

I wasn't aware that any of Dave Eggars' works had been made in audiobook form. I'll definitely put that on my wish list. Thanks for the info!
Bossypants is always a good choice! I love non-fiction in audio form :o)
Here's my audio book week post!

Saying "it added to my enjoyment of the Sudanese tragedy" sounds funny, but I totally get what you mean.
Though I probably won't listen to it on audio, I really want to read Matterhorn and have a copy on my shelf. It sounds really good!
I read Matterhorn last year and it is still with me, I can imagine how it would leave an impression in audio.
Everyone seems to be either listening to Bossy Pants or has it on their list! I think I'm going to have to look into it myself.

I keep seeing Bossypants on these posts. It's on my TBR list but now I must get the audio! I too like listening to nonfiction rather than reading them. Here's my post: http://bookandlatte.blogspot.com/2011/06/audiobook-week-meme.html ~ Jen @ A Book and a Latte
I really enjoy nonfiction and memoir on audio, too. Henrietta Lacks was amazing!
