I have a good-sized commute and books on tape keep me so entertained the whole time!
I especially love those where the reader speaks in different voices for different characters, "page-turner" books that pull my attention in, and books with a bit of humor and/or love.

I went on a road trip last summer all down the east coast and then west, and I took several books along for the ride.
My favorites out of all the ones I listened to were...
"A Short History of Nearly Everything"
and
"White Oleander"

Hi
I'm sure you will like this classic audiobook, 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne. This is an action kind of adventure book and you will love it.
Here's an description of the book:
"The year is 1866. The maritime world is gripped by fear after reported sightings of a huge and terrible sea monster. Monsieur Aronnax, a distinguished Professor of Natural History, pronounces the creature to be a giant narwhal and is invited to join an official expedition to track down the beast. But Professor Aronnax is proved wrong; the beast is not of the natural world, but is a huge submarine. When he is pulled out of the sea by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, and imprisoned on the Nautilus, he experiences at first hand the marvels and perils of submarine life. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is possibly the first and finest work of science fiction: plausible, terrifying and utterly gripping."
I download my legal audiobooks at www.top-audiobook-downloads.com. They have this audiobook in store and if you are not a customer of them you can use this code (NEW007) to get 20% discount with your first purchase. The audio book selling price is $11.75, that's before the discount. It's much cheaper than the real book at my local book store.
Ps. You can listen for 5 minutes to all their books before you decide to buy. I think it's just great.
Enjoy!

I'm not sure about voices, but the The Secret is a great book and it's sold in audio form as well.

The Harry Potter books as read by Jim Dale are excellent. He has tons of voices, but doesn't overdo anything. I have all six and love them!
