I am also more visually oriented, so I choose my audio books with care. I've listened to all of the Harry Potter books, all of the Rick Riordan Percy Jackson books except the last one (which just came out, and is on my player now). I've listened to quite a bit of romance suspense. I had, a year ago, attempted to read the first Harry Dresden book (by Jim Butcher) and didn't get far. I decided to check out the audio book, and I loved it! I plan to listen to as many as the libraries have. A good narrator can make a huge difference.
