I don't listen to audio books anymore, but when I was younger and regularly drove several hours, I tried a few. The most problematic aspect of it was making sure to get unabridged versions. I also didn't listen to anything I had/would read, so I quickly fell in love with Louis Lamour audiobooks. I'm not sure how they'd hold up to my opinion today, but at the time I enjoyed them greatly.
If you like Gaimans work, get American Gods as soon as you can. It's his only work to date that meets and possibly surpasses his work on Sandman. I also see from looking that Gaiman has an audiobook called Two Plays for Voices, and that there is not a corresponding book for it. If anyone has any info/opinions on this, I'd greatly appreciate them.
I also see that various Terry Pratchett books are available on audiobook. While any of them would be great, I'm certain, Night Watch might be a good one to start with. People WILL disagree with this I'm sure. It's comedic fantasy, and Night Watch offers one of the more serious/story driven books in the Discworld lexicon.
