I used to drive a lot and used audio books to pass the time. On one particularly long journey I enjoyed the 20 CD set of American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Obviously you need to like the genre but the actual production was fantastic, part book reading and part play as different readers were used or different characters. Gold standard in my view.

I don’t read much non fiction beside economics stuff. Maybe something from the Great Courses? There’s one on Orwell that looks good.
Otherwise -
Alfred Bester - The Stars My Destination
PG Wodehouse - Something Fresh
Charlotte Bronte - Jane Eyre
Frederick Marryat - Peter Simple
If you were going to read one book about economics I’d recommend Ha Joon Chang’s 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism. Very interesting.

Titan.
Biography of John Rockefeller.
It is a very long listen though. Great for some long drives.

Simple mistake to make, Sven. You know, you don’t have to participate in every thread. Maybe take a break.
Non-fiction books that I’ve enjoyed recently are To Be Someone by Ian Stone and Son and Heir by Alexander Münninghoff. To very different books.

Depends if you’re interested in Greek mythology, but Heroes and Mythos by Stephen Fry (and read by him) are both very good. David Attenborough’s autobiography was brilliant too.

I've had a go at A Tale Of Two Cities today but can't get into it.
I prefer non fiction. Biographies etc.
David Hepworth's music stuff is excellent.
