I'm going to own the unabridged version of "The Man Who Died Laughing" by David Handler and read by Recorded Books' narrator Tom Stechschulte, and I want to know your opinion about audiobooks

I was unable to get the mentioned audiobook so I want to know your opinion about audiobooks

I really like audiobooks, particularly on long road trips. I don't go on a road trip without at least one audiobook, especially if I will be driving. The only bad thing about audiobooks is that they are relatively expensive. They can cost anywhere from $20 - $60 per title. To get around cost, I typically go to the Cracker Barrel restaurants and rent them, listen to them on the trip, and return them before I get home. Cracker Barrel usually has a good selection, about 30 - 60 titles to chose from, depending on the store. You have to buy the book, but they give you most of your money back when you return it. I think it costs about $2 or $3 bucks to rent them after all is said and done. Its the best way to go with audiobooks.
I have listened to dozens of audiobooks, but one that stands out is Da Vinci Code. The Da Vinci code is good audiobook. I actually heard it before they were even talking about the movie coming out. I really enjoyed it.
The Brethren by John Grisham was pretty good too.

Stephen King's "the Library Policeman"
Warning: do not listen to this on a trip, where you may have to stop listening for a while...the suspense will drive you crazy! I listened to this enroute to do some tent camping, and found myself sitting in my car after setting up camp to listen to the end of it!
BTW: a lot of friends knowing my like of Science Fiction/Fantasy, had always suggested reading Anne McCaffrey, but I was never interested until I borrowed an audio book of Dragonsinger...for some reason listening rather then reading kept my attention, and now she is one of my favorite authors

Still Life With Crows by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston. The imagery is awesome and the story line rocks!
