There is a set of 3 books about a former veteran taxi cab driver in Chicago that were absolutely riveting. Found myself at the gas pump wanting it to hurry up so I could get back to the story.
There was one book that let me get 5 hours into it before revealing it was at senator's son coming out of the closet story. Nothing in the reviews or on the about stuff on the cover. I threw the tapes out the window. Felt very tricked, was billed like it was supposed to be an espionage spy thriller.
Don't like romance novels unless they at least mention heaving breasts at least once. Guess those aren't really classified as romance novels, or are they?

Heh, I'm just back from Charlotte -> Fontana California -> Charlotte. 4,800 miles including driving around in Cali a little between kart races. I thought of you guys when driving through OKC, I wanted to stop at Pole Position, but really needed to drive on through. :(
On the way back, the Hobbit, followed by part way through The Fellow of the Ring was listened to. I had my ipod in the trunk on the way out.
If we'd of made a stop for the night on the way back or way out, I'd of probably been able to stop at the track in OKC, oh well. Next year's trip I'll try to work it in.
The audio books def made a difference for my co-driver. For me personally, my mind works well enough and stay active on its own.
