Audiobooks! Help!

[cerridwynn]

I have a subscription to audible.com. It's a pretty good deal -- i get a book and a radio-series each month. But i haven't been keeping up with my credits and now, if i don't buy 6 books i will lose them!

So, friends-list, what should i download? Note that listening to a book is different from reading one. In this format i tend to go for a more episodic structure, often non-fiction and preferably read by the author -- or at least by someone interesting. (For example, David Sederis makes for great audiobook listening...)

Help!!! What will keep my brain from withering away as i cut sections for hours upon hours???

I bet any of the Neil Gaiman audiobooks would be well worth the listen, even though they're fiction. His reading of the young adult horror book "Coraline" is great.

I don't read much nonfic, but Galileo's Daughter is a good read. It's about space. And nuns!

How about Malcolm Gladwell-- either "The Tipping Point" or "Blink." Both are well-written and seem to be something that would interest you.
