In recent days, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Audible versions of Watership Down, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and The Hungry Tide (Amitav Ghosh). I am currently being enthralled by Code Name Verity.
One of the things I've discovered is that if the story is new to me, I enjoy hearing it just as much as reading it, and if the story is familiar, I can actually get new things out of it by listening. Some of the rabbits' folk stories in Watership Down made a much bigger impact on me through my ears than through my eyes (where I'd tended to skim them).
