Great audiobook narrations? (sopuli.xyz)

After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can't focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I'm thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

Voice is the most important factor for audiobooks.

One narrator with a great voice is Tom Parker (aka Grover Gardner).

Here is his reading of The Dharma Bums (on youtube).
