I listen to a lot of longer audiobooks also because I like classics and non-fiction, and 20 hours seems to be where listening fatigue kicks in for me. The ability to speed things up on the various apps I use most - Audible, OverDrive, Downpour - is a godsend. I almost never listen to non-fiction at the base rate and even fiction can stand a slight increase, for which the Audible for Android app is best, as having the most granular settings.

I see Dune has several narrators. You can really crank it up for Scott Brick, is all I'm going to say.
