About Christopher's List
"When Audible asked me to recommend five of my favorite audiobooks, I found it difficult to pick only five. There are so many great books (and narrators!) out there. However, since my latest novel, 'Fractal Noise', is science fiction, I figured I’d share a mix of sci-fi stories that (a) I’ve enjoyed or (b) I’ve enjoyed and that have influenced me. I was also tempted to throw in some Jeeves and Wooster, but they don’t quite qualify as speculative fiction. Still, the collected series is well worth listening to. (Alright, I guess that makes for six recommendations. Ha!)" —Christopher Paolini-
