I just donated three different titles to the charity shop Prpz, if I'd know I could have mailed you them, one was lost connections, another was about kirkegaard, it was a biography, the final was about phishing. I mainly like to listen to non-fiction audiobooks, there were MP3 DVDs which is a single disk but it can carry the content of a bunch of separate CDs.

You can get them for less than twenty pounds on amazon. The quality varies a bit, even when its the author themselves making the recording, like the Lost Connections book. I recently ordered Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court narrated by Nick Offerman because I like both the story and Offerman's character Ron Swanson, in the Parks and Rec show.

The best audio book I've listened to would be either Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov or Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. They're a bit long, though, so, if you like horror, you might prefer to try listening to some recordings, available on Youtube, of short stories by H.P. Lovecraft.
