The Best Audible Books to Listen to Right Now
From Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights to Amy Poehler's Yes, Please, here are the best celebrity-narrated audiobooks to listen to right now.
David Sedaris’ jokes are even funnier alongside the humorist’s genius comedic timing in his bestselling collection of essays “Me Talk Pretty One Day, ” for example, and it feels unlawful to listen to Matthew McConaughey’s pithy wisdom and life experiences, which he recounts in his memoir “ Greenlights,” in any other voice than the actor’s distinct southern drawl. Recalling “Angela’s Ashes,” but with a distinctive feminist perspective, her early memories of living in poverty while dreaming of a literary life — and the precarious success she finally achieved — are hypnotically captivating in this newly-released audiobook, unfurling against the backdrop of the Nazi movement and the gradual modernization of 20th century Europe. Patti Smith’s unmistakable throaty drawl adds dimension to the pioneering punk poet and singer’s exquisitely-observed and heartbreaking story of how she fled New Jersey in her early 20s, lived on almost nothing in New York, and moved in with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe while starting to perform at CBGB and Max’s Kansas City.
