not necessarily my favorite.. but one I read maybe 6-7 years ago, and my wife bought on Audible and listened to recently.. "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" 
www.audible.com
Manson's other book, "Everything is F*cked" isnt bad either..

Harsh (funny) titles.. but the messages are valid and worthy of note IMO.. to the point that Ive encouraged all of my kids to read or listen to them..

Safari Press previously sold a CD audiobook of W.D.M. Bell's 'Incidents from an Elephant Hunter's Diary', although it does not seem to be available now.
Non-hunting, I have, variously, either read or listened to all of Dickens' novels. Naxos audiobooks has an excellent and varied selection of works. They are read by English voice actors, which might help Americans and South Africans speak proper, like what we do. It used to sell CDs, but it is all streaming now.
I try to listen to 'Paradise Lost' once a year. I joked to a friend that it was much better than the original, but she did not find that very funny. Other audiobooks that I have enjoyed include 'A Night to Remember' and 'The Guns of August'.
Helpful hint: audiobooks are particularly good at keeping children quiet, even on the comparatively short run trips to school. Naxos - again - has some well-crafted titles for children.

Call me biased but the audiobook version of my wife's first novel is top of my list.
The Freedom Broker.
The plot centers on events that take place in "Kanzi" a fictional african country based on an amalgamation of Kenya and Uganda and the climax takes place in Zimbabwe.
It was a hoot learning just how an audiobook gets made, the reader spent hours on the phone with my wife discussing how to pronounce names, pacing etc. She was a top professional to work with, we were very lucky to get her.
The extra bonus is that we got to write off our trips to all of the locations in that novel as "research." One of the best perks of being a novelist.

Any of the Patrick Hull narrated Patrick O'Brian books. Start with Master and Commander.
Much prefer to read a book rather than listen to one. That said, I do have one that I keep on an old IPhone that I use for music. It isn’t really a book but rather a compilation of excerpts from numerous books being read by the author, Gene Hill. Entitled “Being There”, it is a favorite listen when the leaves start to drop and the cold settles in.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
