Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways | Jamie Jensen

Looking for audiobook recommendations! We are driving from Grand Teton to Glacier National Park this summer.

My husband isn‘t a big reader, so looking for recommendations that a non reader would like!

Genres would probably be mystery or fantasy (like LOTR but not boring) ☺️

TIA!

Librarybelle I‘d try this one, and the other two in the series. I loved the audio, and it‘s quite entertaining, so I think it would hold a nonreader‘s interest:

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

TieDyeDude Sci-fi, but I enjoyed the audio of the sprawling story of

The Forever War

(edited) 3d

BarbaraJean Not fantasy, but sci-fi: the Murderbot Diaries series! Most are novellas, a couple are full length novels, and there are I think 7 in the series so far. The audiobooks are great, and the MC is engaging and snarky. So much fun.

5feet.of.fury There‘s a full cast version of the Hobbit that‘s good. Also comedy/memoir type books are how I got into audiobooks & if he doesn‘t usually listen to them that might be good so I‘m gonna go with

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: An Oral History

Laughterhp @BarbaraJean Ooh! That‘s a good idea. Maybe I‘ll make his listen to murderbot and then watch the tv show with me! 2d

Laughterhp @5feet.of.fury Oh! Thanks! We just started watching Parks and Rec! This might be a good one to check out. 2d

Laughterhp @Librarybelle @TieDyeDude Thanks!! I‘ll check those out! 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures I also vote Murderbot! What about nonfiction? Something bite size like John Greens The Anthropocene Reviewed or I really love Patrick Radden Keefe any of his really like

Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland

Aims42 This one has been recommended to me for a good audio book. I haven‘t listened but it has good reviews 😊

The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century

dabbe This one.

Travels with Charley in Search of America: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

5feet.of.fury @Laughterhp I looooove parts and rec! Retta & Amy Poehler‘s books were also good 😂 2d

Travels with Charley in Search of America: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | John Steinbeck

pick

Travels with Charley, by John Steinbeck (1962)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: The famed author undertakes a road trip across the United States to reconnect with ‘real America‘, accompanied by a beloved aging pet.

Review: This is a fascinating portrait of a divided country that is still enlightening 65 years later. Cont.

Mattsbookaday Particularly harrowing is his description of traveling through the South at the height of the battles for racial integration. Obviously aspects of the discussion are problematic from a 2025 perspective, but Steinbeck‘s keen eye and discerning mind make it a valuable snapshot of a time and place.

A Walk in the Woods | Bill Bryson

so-so

A Walk in the Woods recounts Bill Bryson‘s courageous decision to embark on a hike along the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. At least that‘s how far the trail extends. Through his journey, Bill takes readers on a humorous adventure, sharing comedic anecdotes about life on the trail.
