I have 50 on my phone now but I need a couple more.
For reference I have now: David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, Grisham, Rick Bragg, Timothy Keller, Micheal Lewis among many others.
I'm pretty broad so whatever you think. I even have Go The frick To Sleep.

Is that how they refer to 50 shades of gray?
If you like scifi at all, check out the Commonwealth Saga. First book is Pandora's Star.

How about one that teaches you a new language?

They're a bit old now but Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics were interesting audiobooks. The stories were short and kept things interesting.

I was looking for something with a little more action.
But, you know what the drunk said to Jesus? "You keep dropping that cross they are gonna kick you out of this parade."

The Killer Angels by Jeff Shaara.
It's a historical novel surrounding the Battle of Gettysburg. Fantastic audio book.

I stop every two or three hours for gas or to stretch my legs and I normally get a free Spanish and Ebonics lesson.

The last two audiobooks I enjoyed listening to were The Long Tail (about the digital revolution and how it affects our lives) and A Confederacy of Dunces.
I really enjoyed the reading of dunces, they really nailed it for me.

'A Walk in the Woods', by Bill Bryson.
Excellent, excellent audio book. He does his own narration.

I've read the Freakanomics and all Gladwells books which are great.
Didn't care for Confederacy of Dunces.
Wine and War is a great audio or book about French wine and the vineyards during WWII

Great book! I read this on a flight to Paris a few years ago.

Michael wrote Killer Angels.
Jeff, his son, wrote the sequels, "Of Gods and Generals" and "The Last Full Measure".
Michael won the Pulitzer for fiction in 1975 for "Killer Angels" - it is one of the best books ever written.

reading of dunces
The guy that reads the Jack Reacher books sounds EXACTLY like Hugh Jackman (who would've been MUCH better that freaking Tom Cruise).
Most of the Spencer novels are read by Joe Montagne who does a pretty good job.
