🎧audiobooks under 10 hours i actually finish
queue for the next long flight, ranked longest to shortest so i know what fits before boarding. no 15 hour epics, i always bail
01
We Are Legion (We Are Bob), Dennis E. Taylor
~9h56, right at the edge of a long flight. Ray Porter narrating is the whole reason this works, book 1 of bobiverse
02
A Man Called Ove (Fredrik Backman)
just over 9 hrs. George Newbern nails the grump-with-a-reason thing, cried in seat 34C, no regrets
03
The Midnight Library (Matt Haig)
under 9 hrs, Carey Mulligan reads it. perfect for the layover-funk mood
04
The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides
05
Bunny (Mona Awad)
06
Piranesi (Susanna Clarke)
shorter and weirder than people expect. Chiwetel Ejiofor makes the whole thing hypnotic
07
The Remains of the Day (Kazuo Ishiguro)
~7 hrs. this is the one I recommend when someone says they don't like "old" books
08
The Vegetarian, Han Kang
09
The Housekeeper and the Professor (Yoko Ogawa)
quietest one on this list. math, memory, and rice balls somehow
10
Convenience Store Woman, Sayaka Murata
the short one, like 3 hrs. a woman genuinely happiest working the register, everyone else's discomfort about it. thought about it for a week
