Book Review - Audio Books

I 'listen' to audio books on tape/cd/audible. For a period of time I had a commute of almost an hour each way and for that year of time listened to over 50 audio books. At this point I have listened to about 100 and I just bought two more today ( The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) by Seth Godin and "Codes of Power" ). First the list of 5 audio books in my collection which come to mind immediately.

1. Ten Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out into the Real World by Maria Shriver is a great reflection on life. When I first read it I was caught off guard how good it was.

2. Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't by Jim Collins I am more of a fan of the biographies from Jack Welch and other leaders, but I thought this was a testimony to execution.

3. Night by Elie Wiesel is a story of the Holocaust and while always painful to read about should not be forgotten.

4. Leadership by Rudolph Giuliani - Just love his persistence and execution, a very detailed oriented person. These are the type of business and leadership stories you learn the most from.

5. Bobby Fischer Goes to War: How A Lone American Star Defeated the Soviet Chess Machine (P.S.) by David Edmonds - I 'listened' to this book while painting my son's room (when we has a newborn) a little over three years ago so it just always pops to my head and I enjoyed it.

Here is my current collection of audiobooks (some I had given a rating a few years back), if you want an opinion or start a thread on a book just let me know.
