I wouldn't call them high brow, but I recently listened to the audiobook versions of Larry Correia's Monster Hunter books (Monster Hunter International and Monster Hunter Vendetta). Said author comes across as a right wing nutjob (especially if you read stuff on his website...) although not necessarily in the same ballpark as, say, Orson Scott Card, but his books are hella entertaining. I basically listened to both of them straight through in a few days (these are 20+ hour audiobooks).
Kind of an inspirational story from the standpoint of somebody who's at least thought about being an author (which is probably all I'll ever do...): Correia self-published Monster Hunter International in 2008 before being picked-up by Baen Books.
