    if you can do blues, try the Uppity Blues Women--specifically 'bitch with a bad attitude' but, really,you can't go wrong.

    For long drives like that, I like audiobooks. (Yeah, I know. I'm a nerd.)  Or old espisodes of RadioLab or This American Life.  (Yeah, I'm a bigger nerd.)


    Seriously, don't pretend like you won't be cranking Bel Biv DeVoe the whole time with the windows down.

    I'm going home.  6 hours and I'll still be in the same damn state.  Sickening.  

    So, recommend some books on CD (don't let AF catch you calling them tapes!).

    DG, don't be jealousE of my black card and all of its benefits.

    "Hitchiker's guide to the galaxy" and "the restaurant at the end of the universe' are the only audibooks I own--I obviously reccomend.

    Give us a hint on what you'd like in an audiobook--plot?  fluff?  good voices?

    Well, I'm not much for fluff.  I like snark, dark fiction, real life stuff - something with a bite.  Nothing sci-fi or fantasy based.  Not much for chick lit or romance garbage.  I also don't want some lame Nicholas Sparks "love saves the day" story.  KWIM?

    Maybe I'll download some R.L. Stine and relive middle school.

    I also prefer the podcasts for long drives.  It seems to make the time pass more quickly when I can get caught up in a story.

    Anything David Sedaris, if you haven't read them all already.  Augusten Burroughs, too.

    If you haven't read Dave Eggers's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," you should. It will make you pee your pants, though, so bring astronaut diapers.

    The Tina Fey book would have been good for this...  hmm...

    Maybe this one: http://www.amazon.com/Although-Course-You-Becoming-Yourself/dp/030759243X/ref=bxgy_cc_b_text_a


    Our library has a ton of audiobooks. They also have some online deal where you can download audio books with your library card #. This is my plan for my May road trip. 


    This one might be fun and mindless:

    none of my recent audiobooks (that I can remember) fit what you'd like.  (it's mostly been fuffy--recently Book Radio has been doing "Zipporah, wife of Moses" which I'm actually enjoying but won't fit the bill, previous it was some fluffy sort of mystery).

    It leans toward 'fantasy' but I know I heard a good audiobook of "SOmething Wicked This Way Comes" before, it rawked.
