Journey to the Center of the Earth: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry

Featured Listen
The Mysterious Island is a novel of adventure and suspense. This thrilling tale follows five Union Army soldiers who escape a Confederate prison by hijacking a hot air balloon—only to crash-land on an uncharted volcanic island in the South Pacific Though often categorized as a standalone work, The Mysterious Island serves as a sequel to two of Verne's earlier novels.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
