As I understand it when Howie Carr's book Hitman comes out later this month there will be an audiobook version (mp3 CD, CD, audible download) of it but it will be read by Keith Szarabajka.
(I think a guy named Michael Pritchard read the audiobook version of The Brothers Bulger.
Odd that a guy with a few decades of radio experience and a half decent voice wasn't asked to
read the audio version (no time?). Some audiobooks have been read by the author (Dennis Miller
"Ranting Again"; John Waters "Role Models"; Hampton Sides "Hellhound On His Trail"--about the hunt for MLK's killer) and
some have not (somebody else reads Mark Steyn's "America Alone" even though Steyn has a radio
friendly voice and has filled in for Rush many times--some people complained about not having Steyn
read his own audibook). Of course some can complain about when authors DO read their own
work--such as having Christopher Hitchens read "God is Not Great". People complained about
Hitchens' voice.
Needless to say, Jonathan Swift was not available to read the audiobook of "Gulliver's Travels"
