I'm not a huge fan of audiobooks (I've got the voices going internally when I read), but I'll definitely pick up something read by an actor whose work/voice I love, especially in poetry. (Listening to the Richard Burton readings of Dylan Thomas when I was a teenager probably shaped this).
So I've recently got hold of the abridgement of Paradise Lost just for Anton Lesser's reading, and an abridgement of Malory's Morte d'Arthur for the wonderful Philip Madoc. And Jim Norton reading James Joyce. I've read all of these, and the Malory's the least significant to me as a text.
And sometimes I've tried listening to a wonderful voice, great actor and given up because the material wasn't doing anything for them either. The extraordinary Michael Jayston, whom I could watch in anything, seemed to record some rather boring books.
