The audible audiobook version of Anathem is extremely good in my opinion. Probably one of my favorite readings... I’m surprised that speech synthesis does a reasonable job given the language involved.

The Audible version of The Baroque Cycle is one of the best voice performances I've heard.

Having said that, some fairly small scale audiobooks that have the authors narrating them are also very good as you can hear the interest and the passion of the author in their subject:
