Stephen Fry reads all of the books in his mythology series (the first one is Mythos). Sy Montgomery reads a lot of her books -- Of Time and Turtles is my favorite so far (and one of my favorite non-fiction books ever!).

I really recommend it! He's such a great narrator and I like his approach to mythology.

This is kind of a niche one but the book I'm reading right now, 'The Whole Picture: The Colonial Story of the Art in Our Museums' has an audibook read by the author too!
