What are your top 5 Audio-books for learning on the go?
As a citizen of Los Angeles, I spend a great deal of my time in my car driving either to or from, well, just about anywhere. I'd like to spend that time doing something productive. The only parameters are audiobooks that help you learn: Biographies, History, Science, Film Industry, anything and everything about expanding my mind - let me know!

All right, I am an audible addict... here are my top 5.
1. A short history of nearly everything. Don't let the title fool you, it's not short. I like it because the moral of the story is that we know far less than most people think we know.
2. Talent is Overrated.
3. Free, the future of a radical price. Bonus - it's FREE on iTunes
4. Beer School. Very boringly narrated, but a totally amazing book about the twists and turns of a startup company. Sure, it's a brewery but anybody in the computer industry needs to listen to this book!
5. CRUSH IT! by Gary Vaynerchuck. If you're sensitive you may need to cover your ears when he drops the F-Bomb (which is often).
Wait, I have to stop at 5 :( A few more quick - Ferakanomics, Outliers, Predictiably Irrational, Words that Work.
If you're looking for another non-business one, 1941and Guns Germs and Steel are two great super in depth history type books.

Great list. I'm going to come back and check it myself next time I'm looking for some ideas.
Also worth mentioning, iTunes U has fantastic podcasts of lectures and talks on just about any subject. Given the list you picked, check out Stanford Business School's selection.
Thanks, I like iTunes u too- there is some great stuff there
