I don't have anything in progress, however the last book I listened to was Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein. It wasn't the first time listening to it and won't be the last. Heinlein has this way of describing the world that I haven't found since.

It's a scifi novel about slavery, society, community, family, status and, like most of Heinlein's work, norms and attitudes. More specifically, it's about a boy who is sold as a slave, is freed, and by the end of the book, has bound himself (by choice, this time) once more.

Good Narrator. Grover Gardner has a good voice that suits this story. Can't say I've heard his voice before.

Like most audio-books I've bought the last 10 years, it came from audible.
