When my younger daughter lived in Montana on a high school exchange programme, she was horrified to discover that all the kids would jump in the car just to go round the block, quite literally.<br /><br />Bill, I had to laugh about Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance: I too listened to it finally on a long drive (also all the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy books).<br /><br />And if anyone is really up for a LONG audiobook (ca. 27 hours!), they can try -- warning, warning, self-promotion ahead -- my Corvus, narrated by the inimitable Welsh actor Ioan Hefin.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-40866403117113349472016-11-23T20:28:44.142+00:002016-11-23T20:28:44.142+00:00It is weird when I consider that England could fit...It is weird when I consider that England could fit in the U.S. state of Georgia (where I live) with a little room to spare, that I drive almost across an entire country to go to work! Fortunately it's not twice a day.

For example, having loved Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance when it was originally published, I've since listened to it twice more on long ()very long) drives.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-59009300242624428662016-11-23T12:47:52.104+00:002016-11-23T12:47:52.104+00:00Three more books where Hitler won, Lev The Other M...Three more books where Hitler won, Lev The Other Man by Giles Cooper (pubished in 1960s so try Abebooks, etc), Dominion by CJ Sansom and Restoration by Owen Sheers.
