MT, recommend me an audiobook.
I enjoy reading, but I rarely have time (or desire) to sit down and actually do it. What I do a lot of, however, is driving, to the tune of 2000+ highway miles a month, and my floormats can only handle so much masturbatory emission before I have to find something else to occupy my time. I have found the joy of Audible, which lets me download books, put them on my iPod, and listen to them while I pass cars at double the speed limit while porn stars film in the bed of my truck.
So recommend me a book, because I'm out of good ones. -I like carz -I like politiks The last two books I read were The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria, and The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. So basically anything that's an interesting commentary on the current financial or political world (y8s and cuadra, I'm looking at you) or a good story (everyone else). |

See if there's an audiobook for "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
Also, "Lies My Teacher Told Me" was a good read. Don't know if it's on audiobook either. I suck. |
D0000d, do you drive the Bang-Bus?
EDIT: The only way I retain info is by focusing on each word in the book.... lol So I think an audio book would be great, so long as I close my eyes or am in the dark. :) |
I see Cryptonomicon is available on audiobook. Might be kinda long for listening to, though. Also doesn't meet your preferences (maybe wartime politics, although it's still a stretch, being fiction).

i like anything Clive Cussler or Dan Brown or John Grisham or Bill O Reilly.

Repost! I asked this about a year ago. Read the Dirk Pitt series by Cussler and check out Pendergast by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
|
Theodore Rex (about teddy roosevelt)
the baroque series by neal stephenson is LONG LONG Blindness by Jose Saramago |
I love audiobooks, and there's NOTHING better at making the miles fly by.
