Audible gave me two free credits and I don't know what to use them on. Already have Norm and Colin's books. Don't really read fiction, but I'd maybe give it a chance if it sounds interesting.

What kind of stuff do you usually listen to?

I like historical stuff. Most of what I listen to I have to make my own text-to-speech audiobooks because they don't have official ones and all the big titles they promote on Audible look lame.

The Alan Partridge books are the funniest books I've ever read but I'm not sure how funny they are if you're not familiar with the character.

There's a free version of Lonesome Dove on the web which is pretty good. The narrator makes one of the main characters sound like a witty Steve Austin.

The audible version of Dispatches, by Michael Herr, is really well done.

Cheated by Andy Martino on the Astros cheating scandal is real good
The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr (excellent book and more about the overall covid scan and response)
The Secret Knowledge by David Mamet
The Problem of Pain by CS Lewis
Griftopia by Matt Taibi on the 2008 financial meltdown
Dumbing us Down, or Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto on public education and why it is the way it is and what it's goals are
Just a few I've enjoyed recently.

I second Griftopia, and I'll add in The Big Short and Moneyball by Michael Lewis. Good pop Econ books about the markets.
If you really like history and want bang for your buck get Shelby Footes narrative history of the Civil War. For a credit you get like 45 hours of in depth and interesting civil war history

Yeah I'm only doing this because it's a free trial that you can keep two books when you cancel. I got a bunch from them and maybe listened to only a quarter all the way through, so won't be making that mistake again.
