Collider's list highlights ten novels and memoirs the author argues work better as audiobooks than as traditional reads, based on qualities such as immersive narration, notable narrators, or prose styles that prove challenging on the page.

– Thomas Pynchon's 'Mason & Dixon' (1997), a nearly 34-hour listen, is praised for making its deliberately antiquated 18th-century-style prose more digestible and immersive when narrated
– Bruce Springsteen's memoir 'Born to Run' (2016) is said to benefit from the musician's own storytelling voice, familiar to fans of his 'Springsteen on Broadway' show
– The list favours audiobooks with strong narration or dense, experimental writing that flows more smoothly aloud than in print
