        The Year’s Best Books

        The Year's Best Books

        Welcome to eMusic’s very first year end list of best audiobooks. 2008 saw some of our favorite writers putting out more crowd-pleasing hits, as well as super talented new voices (literally—they narrate!) emerging from the pack. Our list contains books on food, booze, music, and a couple of titles that are sure to give you the giggles. And while we’re all about escapist fun, we couldn’t ignore the titles that made us think and feel and care even as they entertained. Enjoy!

        # 7 Are you there, God? It’s Christopher Hitchens and friends.

        # 6 A surprising and insightful portrait of a family divided

        # 5 Giggle-inducing musings from a Foulmouthed Barbie

        # 4 “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”

        # 3 A harrowing memoir, complete with an indie rock soundtrack

        # 2 A literary mixtape courtesy of the incomparable indie publisher

        # 1 A critic’s take on a century of classical music. Pure genius.
