I read a lot of books, physical and e-books. I didn't like audio books, but since I couldn't read while using the weight machines at the 'Y' I kept trying. As several people have suggested, start with books you know. I started with some books I like to reread occasionally, moved onto the Jim Dale - Harry Potter series (also read in book form). The narrator is very important. Audible has a sample button so you can get an idea of how the narrator sounds. There is some zany current 'radio' drama from ZBS that I like.

I only listen when I am at the "Y" or walking.
