Great minds appear to operate on parallel paths.

Check out Audible.com . Huge selection of books you can download to an Ipod or burn to CD. MUCH cheaper then standard audiobooks.

If you can find the audio for “Atlas Shrugged” at your local bookstore that would be enough for many trips...

Anything authentic Harold Robbins would do it for me. :O)

“I often have a book pegged before the halfway...”

Me too. Even with movies and tv series. I hate that, it ruins it completely for me. Wife gets mad cause I can tell her, sometimes, word for word, what’s next, the reason they did it that way, and how it’s going to end.

PJ O’Rourke’s “On the Wealth of Nations” — his analysis of the Adam Smith 18th century classic, it’s fun and intellectually stimulating (not easy to do). Also the narrator sounds a little bit like the narrator on the old “Fractured Fairy Tales” segment on Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Liberty and Tyranny. Any O.C. CA Freepers wanna swap?

We recently traveled listening to WEB Griffin’s “The Hostage”

It is about the personal aide to the Sec of Dept of home land Security who goes to Argentina at the direction of the President to find the kidnapped wife of a State Department official. Obama types won’t like it. I really like WEB Griffin.

That is exactly why I don’t watch scripted TV.

Have you considered getting the audio books from here?

I think you can return them at any store and get new ones.

Highly recommended by many writers as the Best American Novel ever written, the book, True Grit, not the movie---but the book, is superb whilst driving across the West.

I'm about to re-read it, it's that good.
