Having started the year with the above, I managed to close it with Richard Dawkins' [http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1906147493?tag=thebookbag-21&camp=1406&creative=6394&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1906147493&adid=0F6CX1EA48N3VG8GM4XN& audio version of the book]. While I love his voice (if not his unusual way of pronouncing canine as "cannine"), he might not be the best narrator - there is an obvious jump in volume and attack to his voice due to every pause the producers had in the recording. The benefit of that is there is a variety in the telling, for I found it a little dry, and following the script with the original book format is not the way we're supposed to consume audio CDs, surely?
