I am listening to Advise and Consent, by Allen Drury (33 hours!). I read this, more than once, long ago, but--as I've found with several other books--I remember the movie version so much more than the book, so a lot of it feels fresh.
The narrator, Allan Robertson, is generally pretty good, except for the female voices, which are largely cringe-worthy. Luckily, a story set in the corridors of power in the 1950s features very few women except as helpmates to their men!
I've already picked up the follow-up audiobook, A Shade of Difference, though I don't know if I want to listen to another lengthy book immediately. I'm hoping for more Allen Drury audiobooks, but so far these are the only two.
