 Hearing a book is a different kind of experience than reading one. I've been listening to audio books on my iPod now for over 3 years (at least). I can run or walk or ride the excercise bike and listen to some really great books.
I use audible.com to get my audio books. I highly recommend them. Their selection is growing, too.
Audible has been great. I pay $20 a month and get two books a
month. When you listen to them on your iPod, it remembers where you
stop. So when I walk the next day and turn on my iPod, it's right
there at the place in the book where I left off. Cool.
Some of my favorite audio books from Aubible:
No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin
Martian Time Slip by Philip K. Dick
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein
Moby Dick by . . . by duhhhh.
One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer by Nathan Frick
The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
