Need quick help.

This might be in the wrong section, so feel free to move it.

I am driving alot because of work (2-3 hours worth, a day) and have been listening to a audio book that I have just finished. I don't want to continue the series because of my disappointment. I go to work tommarow and am having a hard time thinking of a new Audio book to download.

I am looking for a stand alone book but that maybe fits more into The Hobbit. Really can be anything as I will look them up, but I would like something around the likes of Starship Troopers, The Hobbit and maybe His dark materials(if it was a stand alone).

Thanks for the help! I have 5 hours before bed, so Ill be researching most of the time.

The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy? Maybe the BBC Radio version?

Isn't The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy a series? Or is it a book that lead to a series?

It's a series , but is a complete story in itself.

The BBC Radio series - just like their version of The Hobbit - is a different take , like the books turned into plays , and well worth listening to.

His dark materials(if it was a stand alone)

No, that's a trilogy: Northern Lights published in North America as The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

The best version of all IMO. Much better than the film and the TV version.

I understand, I finished reading the trilogy this year. I was just referring to the type of novel as a reference to what I want, but in a single novel instead of 3.

Hitchhikers Guide makes for great listening.
One that surprised me, in audio format, was Jurassic Park.

I was thinking about that actually. How much is it like the movie?

It's significantly different from the movie, but still one of my all time fav books.
