On What Are The Best Audiobooks For A Road Trip?
@Bobby Womack I absolutely second petejayhawk - they're for the BORING parts of traffic, like not moving or nobody else around.

On Bolt Bus v. Fung Wah: Which Cheap Bus To Boston Is Least Annoying?
Yes! The Baltimore station is so organized. And it's always that same attendant who runs it, and sometimes he comes running out of his friend's car 20 minutes before the bus time because he's late, but he's always super nice and friendly and tells all the boys on the bus to put the seat down for the ladies. Then coming from NYC is pure chaotic hell.

On What Are The Best Audiobooks For A Road Trip?
I rent audiobooks from the library all the time, and my #1 piece of advise is go for the funny stuff! I try not to listen to anything too serious, because it's hard to pay attention, and nothing with a lot of details, because you can't exactly go back and review.
So with that being said, as already mentioned I HIGHLY recommend Bossypants - narrated by Tina Fey herself, it is just hilarious. (And yes, I am that person you see laughing alone in her car.) Also along those lines, I've enjoyed Bill Bryson books, which he also reads himself, and Chelsea Handler (same).
What is also good is silly-frivolous type things... they might be a little embarrassing, but again, if you miss a few details here and there, you won't be upset. Young adult books or Stephanie Plum mysteries are good for this.
Lastly, I do not at all consider audiobooks "cheating" ... who says that?? Read, in any way possible! I constantly have one physical book, one digital book, and one audio book going at a time.
