The audiobooks I’ve enjoyed the most are the first three books of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, as narrated by the author himself. Unfortunately as far as I know the version of these books with Stephen King as the narrator were never released on any medium other than cassette tape, and I listened to those tapes so many times they eventually disintegrated. He apologizes in an introduction to one of the books (probably The Gunslinger) for his voice, claiming not to be a professional voice actor. But other than a very few hiccups he was great, and really brought the characters to life. I sure wish those audiobooks would be released in a modern digital format - I’d buy them again in a second.
