recommend some good scifi/fantasy audiobooks. I finished American Gods and I'm starting the epic adventure of Lord of the Rings (god help me) but basically I just want a lot of books to listen to while I exercise.

It must take forever to finish a book like that.
I'm afraid there aren't any good scifi/fantasy books. Sorry.

A good one is the World War Z audiobook. Won some awards.

I read Anathem by Neil Stephenson and am now listening to theaudiobook (I reached chapter 11). It's very, very, very good. Actually the best audiobook I ever heard.
Audiobooks? But you hardly have time to let the information absorb and form its own concepts and introspective tangents. It would be like someone reading for you. No flexing of the old brain muscle. I'd hardly call that reading.

Yeah, audiobooks aren't for books you want to read. I use audiobooks sometimes when someone incessantly recommends me a book that I have no desire to read. Then I can do something more productive at the same time and say that I've read it.
But when I speed-read novels (don't take the time to absorb everything) I read a lot faster anyway. So most of the time it's better for me to just read it and get it over with.
