Please recommend audio books I can down load and take on a long trip.

I like offkey stuff within modern culture(essays and stuff) and philosophy and sociology.

The last Audio books I listen to was:
something by Terence Mckenna = ok
Superfreakonomics = Good
Owl City by Klosterman = Good
Generation Kill = Good

more along these lines. Both higher and lower brow.

Not quite what you stated as a preference, but I've been listening to lectures from The Teaching Company. Search for TTC on piratebay and you'll find three cubic shittons.

I just finished up the 24-lecture series on Famous Greeks, now up to Newton in the series Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition. All while doing my daily exercise, so the other benefit is that I don't gouge my eyes out to escape the boredom of cardio.

Alan Furst writes fantastic novels about spies in eastern europe during ww2. That may not sound like it's related, but they're full of history, insight and interesting characters. His prose style is very engaging and reads well in audio.

Try Night Soldiers.
