My latest listen was "Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov, performed by Bert Coules, Ed Bishop, Sam Dastor and Beth Porter.
Unlike most of the books I listen to, this one was truly performed - with multiple performers and sound effects. It was in fact a BBC radio play rather than a strict reading, but it was quite enjoyable.
It was a short listen - only an hour and a half, but that was good for two walks.
I have tried to listen to a few other science fiction audio books, and have found it to be less enjoyable than reading, but the nature of this book - more mystery and morality play than hard core sci-fi lent itself well to listening.
PS. This post http://datajunkie.blogspot.com/2007/03/steel-caverns_26.html has links to .mp3 files of the radio play (look about 1/2 way down the post).
