RecordedBooks.com has a great unabridged version of Dracula (normally I hate audio books). Two readers (one male, one female) read the entries as appropriate. I remember it was expensive, since the unabridgement ran to something like twelve cassettes.

I suspect that in general audio books would work better from the first-person viewpoint.
