2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

You’ve got a friend in me, as the only times I have to allocate towards books is the hour commute to and from work every day, I will listen to my audiobooks that I have found or that have been recommended by wonderful people like you!

I will give the Wheel of Time and even the Licanius Trilogy a go, as I do like the epicness of LotR!

It is crazy how narrators can make or break some books though, isn’t it?!

Also, I just finished Fahrenheit 451, and the narrator had the “golden-age” of radio kinda voice and made it so much better than if I was just reading it myself!

Thank you again for taking the time out of your day to gush about something you love! 😁

If you do like Wheel of Time it's always worth giving Brandon himself a shot as well. He's busy writing his own universe called Cosmere. It's got a few different series based on different planets and magic systems that can mostly be read as standalones, but they are also connected in... let's just say 'certain ways' for now. Mistborn is a popular starting point. Personally I think 'Emperor's Soul' is better if you want to try out his writing style, since it's only about 100 pages or so.
