Audio books are great, perfect for driving when your eyes are occupied; I tried one on a train trip once and I was like: what do I do with my eyes?!?!?!
Hubby and I listened to a bunch of them while we had a hour commute (each way) for a few years.
By far the best one (and I’ve recommended this many times here, so forgive me for repeating myself) is World War Z by Max Brooks.
It’s abridged, but they’ve got multiple people reading the parts so it’s like a play almost. Mark Hammill reads/plays the hero and he is EXCELLENT.
Not high-end lit, but a really, really fun listen.
Drive long distances, and only stay awake by means of good audiobooks.
Personally recommend the Aubrey-Maturin series by O’Brien. Really excellent reader.
Also Clarence Thomas’ memoir read by him. Not the greatest reader, but it was fascinating listening to his own words in his own voice. Especially when he describes how Joe Biden stabs him in the back at the Senate confirmation hearing 1/2 hour after swearing eternal support to his face.
