Narnia series would be the most used one we own.

Others that the kids have enjoyed:

Robin Hood

The Hobbit

Tale of Two Castles

Greek Myths

Gulliver's Travels

Alice in Wonderland

King Arthur

Little Women

And probably lots more that I don't recall right now.

I usually look for things we have already read out loud.

Peter and the Starcatchers series read by Jim Dale

Anything read by Jim Dale (he does a great Alice in Wonderland)

Roald Dahl

Harry Potter

The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series (we are only on book two, but so far they are so much fun)

Narnia

The Sea of Trolls and Land of the Silver Apples.  We haven't started The Islands of the Blessed yet, but the first two were great.

My kids are enjoying Percy Jackson, but I only listened to the first.  The narrator wasn't very good, imo. DD read the books first, and she's enjoying listening to them again.

Artimus Fowl series is kind of fun
