Question

Shaby · Answer

Audiobooks really speak to me: I love listening to audiobooks. A good narrator can make a book feel like you’re watching a play. They allow me to focus on the story and get lost in the characters and plot. I’d like to recommend you a few because I’m not sure what vibe you’re going for. Happy listening and safe travels.

The Power Broker by Robert Caro: I realize this is at the extreme end of loooooong road trip fodder, but it is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. The drama! The intrigue! The vindictive, ruthless conniving! Caro is the god of biographies for a reason.
