Audiobooks thread?

Audiobooks thread. I'm still stuck in the US for the next 12 days, so I need fun stuff to listen to.

Stuff that I'll look forward to after getting some damn hard thinking work done.

Here's one I'm going through now. Carl Sagan, A demon haunted world(and a download link too)

I don't understand what you're trying to say OP, it seems to me as though you are giving theology some kind of credibility that deserves to be researched as though it were a branch of science.

Saying that in order to write a good book on secularism you need to have a good understanding of theology is like saying in order to write a good book on cosmology you have to understand astrology. That's how retarded you sound.

Can such books really offer you something of value in this time and age when science has dispelled most of this occult stuff? I don't want to come across as arrogant, and I'd like to think of myself as open minded, which is why I'm asking this in earnest. Why read this when you can just read solid science? Fiction like Umberto Eco is an exception, obviously.

my girlfriend has recently started showing interest in astrophysics, and said she feels bad they never taught physics in her school.
so I picked up The Universe in a Nutshell, and this book for her, according to the advice of the bookshop owner. figued I might as well ask you guys if these are a good base for that sort of thing.

What sort of science related books does /lit/ read. I just checked out this one from my library; is it worth a read?

I just discovered the joy of working out while listening to audiobooks.

Pic related is what's on my iPod now. Unabridged.

Hey /lit/, what do you think of Carl Sagan's book, The demon haunted world?
