    Default Good audio books less than 7 hrs long

    I have a road trip coming up. I would like suggestions from you guys on audio books less than 7 hours long, I'll never finish if its longer than the round trip. I'm into SHTF, sci-fi and fantasy. I have read most classics of each, looking for somthing new! Thanks.

    I was going to suggest World War Z since each part is read by different actors, but you've probably already read it.

    Pick up Mistborn, or Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.

    On short trips like that I usually just work on my singing skills.

    I liked the recent audiobook adaptations of Heinlein's juvie novels. Each of them is right around 6-7 hours long: Podkayne of Mars, Between Planets, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, The Star Beast.

    While he is a completely different person, have you read any of his original stuff?

    7 hours is the round trip time? If not, I just blew through One Year After, the sequel to One Second After, in less than a week while driving to and from work and the silhouette match last Sunday. It was alright, but a far cry from the first book. Start with the first if you haven't read it yet, but I believe it's over your time limit...(why can't you just finish it after the trip?)

    I am listening to John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. I don't know exactly how long it is, but the book isn't long and it is any easy listen if you've read it before.

    Watching Longmire put it on my list.
