Since last year I have been listening to audiobooks while jogging and working. So far I went through all lord of the rings books, ender's game both saga's, Dexter books, song of ice and fire, Barsom saga, and witcher saga too.
And I'm looking for recommendations for some more books. I'm dyslectic so i got access to national audiobook database. I'd like to tank you in advance for recommendations.

I liked "the colours of space" & "the cosmic computer" in the sci fi section, i think those are narrated by the same person who did the Mass-effect & the Starwars anime
Thanks, I´ll check those books out.
Jim Dale reading the Harry Potter series has to be about as good as audiobooks get. Amazing that he characterizes every single one of the voices in the book.
Simon Vance is a veteran audiobook reader (don't know about the national audiobook database), but his version of Dune by Frank Herbert is excellent.
If you're in for some serious hours of listening, Anathem by Neal Stephenson is great (it took me awhile to get used to the reader's voice - it didn't quit sync with the voice I had in my head after reading the book, but I have an appreciation now that I've heard it a couple of times). In fact, both Diamond Age and Snow Crash are excellent audiobooks.
Good luck.
I finished the two books last Sunday and liked them very much. Thank you.
I'll second the books mentioned by Neal Stephenson if you're looking for worthwhile literature, and the renditions of Harry Potter by Jim Dale if you're looking for an easy to follow story to pass the time.
I'll add:
The Dresden files: A long series, also good if you just want to pass some time with it. Not too demanding intellectually, but the excellent narrator makes up for that. Both humorous and cheesy - might not be for everyone. Somewhat repetitive between books as well.
The Name of the Wind + The Wise Man's Fear: Excellent storytelling.
Two great sci-fi works are Elizabeth Moon's Vattas War-series on Graphic Audio, best thing I've ever heard! and Joel Shepherd's Cassandra Kresnov books.
Stephen King's, The Dark Tower series. Very immersive.
Homer's The iliad, entertaining and educational.
