Get Swept Away by These Highly Entertaining Audiobooks

There's nothing quite like the pleasure of being read to. Maybe you enjoy non-fiction, or perhaps you prefer poetry or a juicy beach read. Whatever the genre, even if you consider yourself a loyal physical book lover, sometimes it's nice to rest your eyes and listen—especially when you're on a long road trip. The best audiobooks can lift protagonists and plots to another dimension with narration. Reading aloud can be an act of artistry: the whisper of a fraught sentence, the yearning in a question, a deliberate moment of silence between lines of dialogue. It's almost like company. With many of us stuck inside due to social distancing measures, company is welcome.
