I don’t usually recommend audiobooks, not because I consider them inferior to reading, but because other people can be kind of snooty about them. HOWEVER, I want to recommend the audio book version of Whoopi Goldberg’s memoir, Bits and Pieces, which is read by the author. Her stories about her mother and her brother are warm and funny and inspirational, and Whoopi so clearly enjoys telling them that, well, it just feels like you’re in her living room listening to her reminisce. Highly recommended.
