I haven't read or listened to anything new in a couple of months so I need something new.
I have - to give you an idea of what I like - all Malcolm Gladwell, David Sedaris, a few Michael Lewis (The Big Short is great) A few Killing - O Reilly - Bourdain, Jacque Pepin, Julia Childs, Joe Bastianich - a few WWII books, a few biography's - all Rick Braggs.
I need two or three for a trip.

No Country for Old Men is my favorite. The movie was so good due more to Cormac McCarthy's writing than the Coen's directing though they did a fine job.
The entire Aubrey/Maturin series (Master and Commander) by Patrick O'Brien is good. That's 20 books long and should definitely be done in order.

The Disaster Artist is a first person account of the making of "The Room" by its supporting actor and line producer. If you've seen The Room you will love it, my wife listened with me and she hasnt seen the film and still liked it ok. Greg Sestero, the author, also reads it; that takes some getting used to, but his Tommy Wiseau impression is fantastic.

Scribd was a great app for audio books. Then, they changed their business model and went to a credit system (sept 20). So, instead of unlimited premium audiobooks, you essentially get one per month for $9. All of the public domain type stuff is still all free.

Thanks for the responses. I loved the movie No Country for Old Men - might try the book.
What is this overdrive app?

Empire of the Summer Moon - about the Comanches
Rebel Yell - Stonewall Jackson bio
Undaunted Courage - about the Lewis & Clark expedition
Killer Angels (the whole trilogy is great but this is the best of the series) - Gettysburg
Others that don't fit what you usually listen to, that I've listened to lately:
The Stand by Stephen King (47 hours long)
11-22-63 by Stephen King - time travel book revolving around Kennedy assassination
Pillars of the Earth - historical fiction set in mideval England revolving around the church
There's always Dan Carlin's hardcore history podcast too.

Been listening to Game of Thrones audiobook. Roy Dotrice did a nice job with them. I've also heard good things about the audiobook version of "The Martian"

I listened to the Martian. I thought it was pretty good. It kind of drug along in places when he got real technical regarding his equipment and the science behind it.
