Is there a version of Foundation on audiobook that isn't from forever ago with a guy that sounds like he is a 1950s radio host?
Not that I've found, that's the version I listened to.
Most books 36-48 hours of listening? Hmm?
So here are the ones I've done in the past few weeks:
Project Hail Mary: 496 pages, audiobook 16 hours 11 minutes
The Martian: 416 pages, 10 hours 53 minutes
We are legion (We are Bob): 308 pages, 9 hours 30 minutes
So say about 30-40 pages per hour, which would put 36-48 hours at about 1100-1900 pages.
Oooh the bobiverse is so much fun
If you like long audiobooks and high fantasy try Malazan. Fair warning that if you like it, it increases the effort you need to start your suspension of disbelief for all other books. At least it did so for me.
