I definitely listen well over two hours a day on average; I'd guesstimate maybe four or five.

Well the first book can certainly be read standalone. The narration is very well done, and the book is, within the limits of the genre, well written. There's rather more not completely consensual (by today's standards) sex than I was completely comfortable with, but that seems to be a requirement of the genre.
