I'm not much of a fan of Jim Butcher's works, but adding in a pleasant voice might result in a good mix of "nice to listen to" and "interesting enough without being TOO interesting". I may give it a try.

Community: I like both Troy and Abed, but Troy was definitely a more enjoyable character overall, so we match with that opinion.

Escapist stuff is my choice for the moment as well, which is pretty obvious in most of the shows and books I listed here...
