This list is for you if you've traditionally found it hard to concentrate when listening to audiobooks, but would like to do more ear-reading.
Each of these books is less than 10 hours long and has an engaging narrator*, so they're great options to start to train your listening muscles. They're also from a range of different genres to help you experiment with what works for you.
You might particularly enjoy these books if you're a fast, visual learner; you can't visualise or have aphantasia; or your mind tends to wander when you try to listen to long chunks of text.
