What are your favorite audiobooks?


I'll be driving across the country and looking for some good suggestions. Topics I like include science, history, and sports but open to anything and everything.

Life on Air by David Attenborough is one of my favorites - it's narrated by the man himself.

Any books by David Grann are great to listen to but I particularly enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon and Lost City of Z.
