Two I have and recommend, although they’re more sci-fi with some comedic moments are **The Martian** (nearly 11 hours) and **Snowcrash** (17ish hours). The writing style of The Martian, being mostly (not exclusively) an audiolog lends itself to the audiobook format, and Snowcrash is always a ton of fun. Otherwise, my favorite audiobook for travelling is the extended version of the **World War Z** (12ish hours) - since it’s also based on ‘interviews’ and works well as an audiobook, and as a bonus has huge scifi actor cast, it is excellent. And since each piece is shorter, you have a lot of chances to pause easily if you need to stop the trip for food/bladder breaks. Have a safe trip! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-a-good-audiobook-for-driving/961911)._
