I've always found it hard to get into audiobooks - I listen to podcasts, but for some reason when someone is reading me a story I have a hard time paying attention. I also tend to read fiction in large part for the enjoyment of the writing and I am unable to totally appreciate that with my ears, if that makese sense.

But! I am enjoying my FIRST audiobook (that I will actually finish) right now, Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick, and am seeking recos for more. Here are some criteria I think I may like:

• Memoir - I don't normally read celeb memoirs, but Lena's discussion of pelvic pain is directly relevant to me and I was also of the Girls generation. I bookmarked two of Joan Didion's to try as audiobooks. I really loved The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch, Rachael Cusk & Deborah Levy, Miriam Toews. I like memoirs that deal with difficult subjects, less so biographies. I did not love Ocean Vuong's memoirs - his style is just not for me.
• Nonfiction - I am currently going through a period of diagnosis and treatment for a pelvic disorder, so welcome recommendations for good audiobooks about women's health, medical trauma. I have yet to read The Body Keeps The Score, which I have been meaning to try. I really enjoyed the NYT podcast series The Retrievals.
• Books read by their authors

Thanks so much!
