I know that this is a really really really really vague question, but can anyone recommend some good audiobooks they've listened to recently? They can be political in nature, or just fiction, or whatever.

The reason I'm asking is because I haven't ever listened to one before, but recently I've had to do some busywork that doesn't require a great deal of mental attention, but just enough manual dexterity that it would make an actual physical book a bit difficult.

Sorry again for the vagueness, anything at all would help greatly!

Librivox has a nice audiobook of wage labor and capital.

I have several and listen in the car. Most are good enough that I can revisit them and still get more from them.

Perdido Street Station & Kraken by China Miéville.

Also recently The Fog and The Rats by James Herbert were pretty amusing, although that whole thing that whenever there was a gay character involved they'd die was a bit odd.

MIA has a few. I know they have some of Marx and Lenin but not sure about others.
