My brother doesn’t like to read (unlike me), but doesn’t mind listening to audio CDs. He loved listening to Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. Does anyone have any recomendations as to novels that could be found on audio CD that are similar to Hearts?
My brother is 24 years old. Doesn’t like reading, but LOVED Hearts in Atlantis on Audio CD, so I am sure he would love others. He works at a desk, so he has plenty of time to listen.
He may like Dean Koontz. My whole family loves him. The whole Odd Thomas series is great and I really liked From the Corner of His Eye.
Stephen Kings "Bag of Bones" was an excellent audio book also. He actually did the recording of it himself so he portrayed the characters exactly as they should be. Oh, and the Green Mile was a good audio book also. It wasn’t read by Stephen King but whoever did read it did an excellent job.

If he doesnt like to read I dont think you should get him a book for Christmas, audio or not. Why dont you go get him something that he is interested in. He’ll be a lot more happy with it and more likely to actually use it than you just giving him something you’d like.

instead of gettingt him an audio book, get him a real book. Try getting him The Five People you meet in Heaven. It made my sister read, and she hardly read at all (that is besides magazines)

"The End of Faith" by Sam Harris
It’s a book everyone should read.
