Neil Gaiman is a wonderful narrator, too.

If you're into mythology, generally, I recommend "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton. The audiobook is great, too. I read and reread that so many times between middle school and my classics courses in college.

Eventually picked up the audiobook read by Suzanne Toren. I'm pretty sure it's the most recent one available through audible and I liked her narration.

Edit: Suzanne Toren*

Omitted the "n" as I'm on mobile.

I got a copy of it, excited to give it a listen!

Nice! Yeah, it's mostly Greek and Roman, but it has the main points of Norse mythology near the end.

It's been one of my "if there's a natural disaster, what do you grab" books for years lol
