Dear MamaWiks~
As Smallwolf said, it depends on the sort of book you are looking for.
When I first went into a psych ward with depression and other problems I was given a set of adolescent fantasies by a kind nurse to help me pass the time. It made a huge difference
I was transported away from the harsh real world to another place with princes and princesses, where the good lived happily ever after having faced impossible adversities and the bad got their just desserts.
It was the tonic I needed, and I still enjoy fantasy, though of a more adult type.
In audio-books I'd suggest a different set of books collectively called the "Dragonriders of Pern", written by Anne McCaffrey. I'd start with "Dragonsong", a gentle story with much appeal and a happy ending.
I have checked and these books are available as audio books. You may even find some in your local state library, probably in CD sets
If this is the sort of thing you want to try then I hope this helps you as much as it did me
