I really like Dreams from my Father. He does great voices when he reads, for his white grandparents and mother, his Kenyan father and sister, his black and white friends when he is a teen and a young man. He really traveled quite a road to get where he got. As for audio books, oh my goodness. Finding audio books and becoming a devotee has turned nearly all time into potential "reading" time. When I cook, drive, walk at lunchtime, audio books every chance I get. Time that I should probably be resting mentally or focusing on something else (the highway before me for example, the recipe I am making) has now become audio book time. I get through many many more books in a year than I could before audio books. As with all things, important to find balance.
Hope you don't get caught reading in class!
