Yep, I loved his narration of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series

Currently enjoying the Ciaphas Cain (WH40K) ones on Audible.

Have you listened to The Name of the Wind, also referred to as The Kingkiller Chronicles ? It's a fantasy novel written by American author Patrick Rothfuss. Great books would sum them up as a more grown up harry potter ha!

The Godfather - Mario Puzo.
Brilliant stuff, been a while since I've watched the films but it's easy for me to picture the scenes along with the narrative. Also there's some stuff that didn't make it to the screen so it's interesting to pick these the out. Although the over emphasis on Sonny's 'enormous member' was a bit much lol.
Got all 3 in an Audible sale so looking forward to listening to the sequels on my travels.

Just got into audio books in the last 6 months.. they're great for long distance driving.
Finished the Martian which was great currently 2/3 through Ready player One (I'm impressed by Wil Wheatons reading).

I've just started on another of Andy Weir's books "Hail Mary" I'm loving it so far, great narration too. Yeah the Ready player one audiobook is great.

Will Wheaton from what I can tell has sort of made a bit of a career in audio book narration over the last 20 years, I know he seems to be one of two preferred narrators for one fairly successful author (I think he's done something like 10 books for him).
I've been stuck on Toast on Toast by Matt Berry for a while, which I'm enjoying but haven't had a chance to listen to (I normally listen whilst in the garden or doing models but haven't been able to do either for weeks) so i'm going to try and finish that soon as there is a new series coming on the BBC.
I think it's included in the "audible plus" library now, which is getting quite impressive in terms of the number/variety of titles you can listen to for free
Ha, I was laughing at that as I'm reading the book at the moment!
Me too..
I'm really enjoying it, and like you say, Ray Porter does a great job of the narration.
Never listened to "Ready Player One", but read it when it originally came out - maybe I should give it a listen, and the sequel whilst I'm at it.
Just finished listening to the existing quadrilogy of Dungeon Crawler Carl books. (5th on the way apparently) They're really good fun. Uses the same narrator as the Everybody Loves Large Chests series. He's excellent.
Moved onto 'He Who Fights with Monsters'. Aussie gets dumped into a magical world... naked with no abilities.
The Audiobook is good, but the full cast recording is excellent. Difficult to find, but worth hunting down.

5th book of the wheel of time, having banged out the last 4 in good order i am starting to get bored. I think station 11 will be next
Still listening to "Project Hail Mary" - currently on Chapter 11. 
Just finished:
"Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, shares what he has learnt in more than a decade of studying climate change and investing in innovations to address climate problems. He explains how the world can work to build the tools it needs to get to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions - investing in research, inventing new technologies and deploying them quickly at a large scale. Gates is optimistic that the world can prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis."
which was my daily listen to/from work. Wil Wheaton gets everywhere doesn't he?
Enjoyable and thought provoking.
Next 'on-the-tube' listen will be "The Chips (How Two Americans Invented the Microchip and Launched a revolution)". Should be fun.

I'm on the last 20mins, Can't recommend this audio book enough, brilliant!
100 % Agree on Hail Mary.
I've Just started "Outland" by Dennis E Taylor, also Narrated by Ray porter.
"When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it's up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization. When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong"

I really enjoyed "Outland" (then again, I've loved all of Taylor's books) and it really puts the dangers of volcanic ash into terrifying perspective.
