Every now and again its always nice to take a break from your reality and get into a good fantasy. But did you know that many great fantasy novels come as audio books downloads?

It’s true! You can get just about all your favorites from Tolkien to Asimov easily downloaded to your computer. Then you can transfer them to any media you want. Burn them to CD, upload them to your MP3 player, or keep them right on your computer so you can listen while you work.

Audio books are, in most cases the full versions, not the abridged type that leave you hanging. Some of them are audio recordings of actual plays as they’re being performed on stage, or television broadcasts with the original stars. Audios of novels are generally narrated by well known actors. So the listening is easy and the feeling put into them give you the full impact of emotion from a storyteller’s perspective.

So audio books bring the characters to life which makes those relating to fantasy a “fantastic” choice!

One popular fantasy audio book is the Chronicles of Narnia. Both children and adults alike have been mesmerized by the thrilling adventure. Another is The Lord of the Rings series where Tolkien’s characters come to life right before your ears.

Of course you could also add Sci-Fi into the mix with the popular Dr. Who series from the BBC, or for a little more humor involved you could go for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. For the more serious Sci-Fi fanatics, you might enjoy listening to 2001: A Space Odyssey or Fahrenheit 451.

How about a little Ray Bradbury with Something Wicked This Way Comes? Or perhaps you’re into the classics like The War of the Worlds or Slaughterhouse-Five?

Whatever audio books downloads you choose in this genre, you’re sure to find them enjoyable, exciting, and a refreshing break from your normal daily reality.
