Sometimes I will find a great book-on-CD about different topics that is totally understandable and from which one can learn many things about the topic at hand, for example:
Health - Dr. Ted Broer "Eat, Drink, & Be Health"
Economics - Peter Schiff "Crash Proof"
I.S. Security - Jesper Johansson and Steve Riley "Practicing Better than Best: Getting and Staying Secure the Right Way"
I love to listen and learn new things while driving or working out. Does anyone have any good book on MP3/CD recommendations that they would recommend? The topics can be anything from history, economics, business, motivational, network security, Christianity, etc. The only requirement is that the book-on-CD/MP3 be highly educational and entertaining.
Thanks in advance!

It is about the federal reserve system and its history - definitely something worth listening to considering our current economic woes.

Checking my 'book list', the only non-fictions I listened to are Bios ... John Lennon, Linda McCarthy, Jimmy Carter, Desi Arnez, Luci Ball, John Wayne, Carol Burnett, etc..
I do have a Stephen Hawkings in there from 2006, but rated it very low (2 out of 10) and can only remember it being dry and my preferring to listen to something else at the time.
