@ SAAG- Thank you for the list. I like a lot of the authors you listed. BTW, I almost wrote "listens" instead of reads.
@soaps- I hope the eye pain settles. Thank you for the info!

Guest repliedSo glad you are enjoying them! Like you say, it takes some adjustments, but at least you can get back some of the pleasure you used to enjoy from reading
As for good reads (err, "listens" haha), depends on what you're into. I liked audible.com because I could click on the preview button to make sure the narrator's style of speaking was satisfactory (I'm too impatient for slow talkers haha)... then I'd go to amazon.com to check out reviews on the print book to see if the storyline was likely to be decent... after that, just depends on your tastes! Maybe check the best-seller lists for a start? Or look up books by authors that you used to enjoy in print? (you'll be amazed at how many of them have audiobook versions of their stuff - it's super!)

Audiobooks!!!
I now listen to audiobooks! Thank you SAAG! I used to love to read all the time. It took some adjustments, but I can deal with the audiobooks now. I just need some good titles. Any suggestions for some good reads?!
Thanks!
