There are subjects to suit all tastes. A little expensive though if you become a serious collector. see www.teach12.com I find the selection of lectures available from The Teaching Company most enlightening.

I have the abridged version of Atlas Shrugged on audiobook on CD. The Galt speech is cut into ONE CD. In one CD it's long but at least bearable. I wonder what I'm going to think of it when I get there... As a side to any readers: if you want to try Ayn Rand out but don't want to invest forever and a day in reading, try the ABRIDGED version of the audiobook--it's like 11 hours and pretty good.

Audio books can be quite expensive! Luc, thank you for the tips! Nathan, I'm going to have to check that out David, Project Gutenberg is a great resource I keep hearing about but haven't yet explored. Thanks for the link!

A couple of good ones: -http://webbalert.com/ - this is a video but the visual part doesn't really matter so you can listen to it as audio-only. -Coffee Break Spanish. Easy way to pick up some spanish while I'm driving. Hi Jared,
