Miss Marple Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 DS likes to listen to audiobooks while driving back and forth from college. Something fairly lighthearted and quick or something that he can easily come back to a few weeks later. He loves James Bond, Jeeves and Wooster, Nero Wolfe, and Top Gear. We have: Jeeves and Wooser, Nero Wolfe, Father Brown Also, any idea if any of the Car Talk cds are good? If so, is there one better than the other? We always enjoyed listening to those on the way to church on Sunday evenings. Any suggestions are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 The Unlikely Disciple - A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University by Kevin Roose Thanks. Amazon doesn't have the audio but I'll look elsewhere Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You might consider signing him up for an audible account. I pay $20 for 2 credits/month. I can download 1 book with each credit. They have tons of choices, including many lecture series from The Great Courses. It's cheaper than paying separately for lots of audio books. ETA: You can listen to the books on more than one device. http://audible.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I've enjoyed Car Talk radio show but have never heard the cd's. If they're just a bunch of past shows then they'd be a fun listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Bill Bryson's books are almost invariably entertaining. Regards,Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 It sounds as though he enyoys a bit of British humour:) If so, has he been exposed to any Douglas Adams? I would definitely recommend starting Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy! The Audiobook version or original BBC series. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_35?k=hitchiker%27s+guide+to+the+galaxy+audiobook&sprefix=Hitchiker%27s+guide+to+the+galaxy+aud Btw- if you have been unfortunate enough to have seen the US movie based upon the book...do not be misled by that horrible travesty:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
