Barbara Rosenblat is a brilliant, brilliant reader. Alas, she mostly reads meh mystery novels. But she also reads the Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters, and it is worth it to get ANY of those; my wife has read and reread the Peabodys in book form, but she always loves to hear the audio versions because Rosenblat's reading brings a whole new level of interest. Her Emerson is perfect.
While hardly comforting, there is also a really wonderful audiobook version of Parable of the Sower, read by the amazing Lynne Thigpen. Anything Thigpen reads is fabulous, but she does read difficult stuff (like Morrison's Jazz).
