Help me choose which book to listen to next!

I listen to audio books I download from Audible.com to my iPhone, and I have several in my queue. The book I'm currently listening to is Carl Hiaasen's Double Whammy. I'll finish it up today.

Which of the following books should I listen to next?

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer
When Elves Attack - Tim Dorsey
A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin
Wyrd Sisters - Discworld 6 - Terry Pratchet
Pyramids - Discworld 7 - Terry Pratchet
The Wind Through the Keyhole - Stephen King

I will also take suggestions for later downloads when I get done with these.

Depending on your mood I'd listen to "A Game of Thrones" first then "Pyramids". I'd skip "Wyrd Sisters" completely, unless you like the Witches. I hate Granny Weatherwax with a passion.

FWIW, I just finished listening to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last week and I liked it a lot.

If you haven't listened to Stephen King on audio, you're missing out. Even if you don't like him, you should at least check out some of his short stories. I recommend the collection "Everything's Eventual", especially the story "All That You Love Will Be Carried Away" .

I've been reading King since I was 9 years old. I finished up 11/22/63 on audiobook a couple months ago. It was really good!
