   I listen to audiobooks while I work out at the gym or on my rowing machine at home. And I'm between books. What's something you've enjoyed listening to lately? I prefer fiction to non-fiction.

     Currently enjoying _Anxious People_ by Fredrik Backman, narrated by Marin Ireland

     _The Dutch House_ by Ann Patchett, narrated by Tom Hanks, was pretty good too. As was _Remarkably Bright Creatures_ by Shelby Van Pelt, also narrated by Marin Ireland

     Both of Cory Doctorow's recent Martin Hench novels, narrated by Wil Wheaton, also excellent: _Red Team Blues_ and _The Bezzle_ (I have a particular soft spot for the latter)

     One other very strong recc. It's non-fiction but it reads more like fiction. Or maybe it's a bit of both.

     _Amoralman_ written and read by Derek DelGaudio. Probably 5.5 of the best hours you'll spend listening all year

     @kims Ooh. The Dutch House is set in my adoptive neighborhood and I've been meaning to read it for a while.

     Thanks for all these recommendations!
