So, been driving a lot for my rotations during school. Finished up World War Z and The Martian. Both I thought were excellent. WWZ had an INCREDIBLE cast. The Martian was good because I felt like I would have skipped a bunch of it (the science, math stuff) and missed out on the main character.
Anyone have recommendations for my next listen?
Not really a book but dan carlins hardcore history WWI series was pretty interesting. Went through all 25 hours in a month of driving. It's also free so you can try it out and not lose anything if you hate his style/voice.

Wonderful series of 4 hour (!!) podcasts.

Agreed - Hardcore History is a great podcast. And very well produced. Dan is a pro.
I am about 2/3 of the way through "Boys in the Boat" and has been widely reported, is an excellent book. The audiobook narrator is fine, the story carries it well.
Finished "Playing for Pizza" before that, which was kinda dumb but passed the time.
I have "The Keeper" - Tim Howard autobiography queued up for an upcoming road trip.
I've read the book, but a friend told me the audiobook was great as well.....Nate Silver's Signal and the Noise.
Also the new Wright Brothers book is fascinating. I lived near Dayton for 7 years as a kid and still didn't know all the stuff in the book. I would assume the audio version is good.
