i do love them, especially mysteries. don't care for nonfiction where one might thumb back in the book to reread/check passages. seem to work especially well with books that use a lot of dialogue. Elizabeth peters archeology books featuring amelia peabody are marvelous, as are anthing by tony hillerman or ludlum (& co). many's the roadtrip that i've circled the motel for 20 more minutes just to hear another chapter.

i used to plan my long trips around the availability of cracker barrels, as they had great tape selections.

there is a danger, of course. listen to an ann george southern sisters mystery and you might find yourself laughing too hard to see the traffic.
