The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes

Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh

As far as fiction, Discworld has a lot of good audiobooks, and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrrell is awesome.

Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes

Take this one with a grain of salt. From what I hear, Taubes gets quite a bit of his physiology wrong, although whether or not his conclusions are correct just isn't known.

I second Checklist Manifesto due to content.

I second Gang Leader not only for interesting content, but because I found the voice acting to add to the content (I sometimes give up on interesting content because I can't stand the voice acting)
