I especially recommend the historical works of David McCullough.
You can order these (and other books) from Books on Tape Inc. 1-800-626-3333 (I don't know of an internet site for them as yet). If you're a friend of mine, and are interested in giving them a try, let me know. I can order your first trial book for $5 plus postage. Books on Tape will send you the book and a free catalog. They have thousands of unabridged books recorded with many new titles coming out every year.
