Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.

Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Right on. I think you’ll love that series, as long as the narrator is good. I finished the Fifth Season series last night. Wooo doggie! What a ride! I definitely recommend that series without reservations.
