I'm ill in bed and have just discovered the pleasure of listening to Bill Bryson reading his own book, A Short History of Private Life. He has a very calm, soothing delivery, and the subject matter is interesting, yet not particularly exciting. And, because it's not a narrative, it doesn't matter if I doze off. I can just pick up again when I wake up. In fact, it is both helping me to sleep and keeping me contented when I can't sleep.

So I'm looking for more like this. A comfortable, soothing voice reading a comfortable, soothing book that won't be spoiled by me nodding off.

Am I asking for impossible recommendations?

Just find stories you like. I've been listening to a number of bbc productions recently.
