Favorite audio books?

Vince Flynn stuff is great. On that same line, Jack Carr has a good one as well. "Terminal List"

However, I've never had as many people blown away as I have from my audiobook recommendation of "Endurance" By Alfred Lansing. It's the story of Shackleton's doomed antarctic journey. Trapped in sea ice, forced to survive in incredible circumstances. Truly incredible, and true.

Standby for John Stryker Meyer. Audio or written, does not matter. Hesitant? Listen to Jocko Podcast.

Specifically as an audio book i like "A Salty Piece of Land" by Jimmy Buffet. I read a lot, more serious books. But I like this one to lighten the mood. I have it on my phone and listen to it while glassing. You can enjoy bits and pieces without worrying about keeping up with the whole story. Just lighthearted entertainment.

I listen to a lot of audio books during longer bike rides, runs, and road trips. These are a few of my recent favorites. Also, if you're into road cycling at all check out the two books by Phil Gaimon - "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day" and "Draft Animals".

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage / Alfred Lansing
Snowbound / Richard S. Wheeler
Meateater / Steven Rinella
American Buffalo / Steven Rinella
Shadow Divers / Robert Kurson
Pirate Hunters / Robert Kurson

I'm listening to "Empire of the Summer Moon" for the 2nd time.

Great history on the Republic of Texas and the US settlers dealings with the Cherokee Indian warriors.


Cherokee word meaning " people that disagree with everything" which the other tribes gave them.

Empire of the Summer Moon is about Comanches, not Cherokees. Big difference.

As most audio book fans know, the narrator can make or break the book. I would never listen to a Steve Rinella book unless he was doing the narration.

Will Patton is an excellent narrator especially for James Lee Burke books in the Robicheaux series.

River of Doubt was good if you like Teddy Roosevelt history.

Chiefs is a good audio book by Stuart Woods. It may have been his first and best novel.

I liked White Fang by Jack London on audio. You can find it cheap.

Hampton Sides "Blood and Thunder"

I would recommend these two authors
CJ Box
Lee Child

Another vote for CJ Boxx and the Joe Picket series.

David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me

I’ll second David Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me”. Great story about a man who came from nothing

Alone on the Wall is pretty good. About Alex Honnald's free solo climbing.

Thanks for the recommendation on the Phil Gaimon books. I doubt there are a lot of road cyclists on this forum, but I used to put on lots of miles before wife/kids/career. I still ride some and am enjoying "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day" so far.

Until getting bit by the golf bug 12 years ago, I trained year round and raced from 1st of March til August for about 10 years. Only weather kept us off the road was snow/ice ON the road.

Are you interested in podcasts? I could give you a year's worth of good podcasts to listen to.
