Are there any audiobooks that are so fantastic that you would listen to them again? For most people, audiobooks are a way to kill time in the car, but some are so fantastic that you're drawn to them over and over. Publishers Weekly explores the reasons:

The list they provide is excellent, but here are some more:
Eat, Pray, Love: With the movie coming out this summer, it's an excellent time to revisit the audiobook. Gilbert's narration perfectly captures the mood of the book, which is inspirational and funny at the same time.
Of Mice and Men: If you haven't read this since high school (or at all), it's absolutely worth a listen. Gary Sinise is the perfect voice of John Steinbeck.
A Dirty Job: It's hard to explain the many strange and hilarious voices Fisher Stevens performs in the course of this audiobook, but if you ever wondered what a sewer-harpy demon would sound like, now is your chance to find out.
