Recommendation Request
I am thinking to buy one of the paperback collections of these great authors. Not sure whose books are going to be harder to listen as audiobook format. So asking recommendations on whose books of these three great authors you recommend the most to read on paper.
I will be thankful to know your experience on the audiobooks of these authors.

My friends and I do an audiobook review podcast and we all agreed Blood Meridian was probably not ideal as an Audiobook
Yah, but fucking damn good book. The Road was great on audio! But it's a much simpler book and doesn't have a second dialect.
I enjoyed it as an Audiobook, the read was so relentless with how McCarthy writes.
Whats your podcast?
Haven't read Tolstoy, but I really enjoyed both Dostoevsky audiobooks I've listened to. And I've tried to read Dickens before, but I just can't stand how verbose he is-- you can tell he was paid by the word lol. Not sure if this would be better or worse in audiobook format
I find Tolkien on audio to be very heard, so many names, places and made up words.
I can't listen to Dostoevsky. I have to read him. The other two are fine for me, but I can see Tolstoy being pretty rough and something you have to actively listen too.
