contents	Best Audiobooks of 2008 Kuzyk, Raya Novels Audio Books Nonprint Media Libraries Book Reviews This article presents a list of the best audiobooks of 2008, selected by intrepid band of audio reviewers, range from tales of Bengali and Haitian immigrants to political autobiographies. There's "cake" from Sloane Crosley and emotional pyromania from David Sedaris; a biographical tribute to Maya Angelou and debut novels laced with the supernatural from Andrew Davidson and Brunonia Barry. All in all, a very good year for the sonically inclined, which one can sweeten further by revisiting the creme de la creme audiobooks of 2007 and 2006.
