  • Kim Basinger  reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin)
  • Annette Bening reading Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
  • Jennifer Connelly reading The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles
  • Colin Firth reading The End of the Affair by Graham Greene
  • Anne Hathaway reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
  • Dustin Hoffman reading Being There by Jerzy Kosinski
  • Samuel L. Jackson reading A Rage in Harlem by Chester Himes
  • Nicole Kidman To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

  • Susan Sarandon reading The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers
  • Naomi Watts reading Summer by Edith Wharton
  • Kate Winslet reading Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola
According to a statement, the actors starring in Audible’s new series actively participated in choosing which books to record,” embracing the chance to inhabit a character that has always fascinated them, show a different side of themselves from what audiences have seen on camera, or tell a personally beloved story.”

Audible plans to confirm additional productions through the remainder of 2011, and to announce and release more titles for distribution throughout 2012.
