 Classics are definitely classics for a reason. Everything is made up, nothing is real, everything we know is human consciousness.

Unfortunately, our "post-truth" era is an adequate period for a re-read.

While I loved this book when I read it in school, I didn't love this particular audiobook. I'm not a fan of having music and ambient sounds. That's likely just me. I would probably just read this again rather than do an audiobook.
