Right now the book club we are in (T and some of her friends, I read the books too so I got invited along) is reading Field Notes from a Catastrophe by Elisabeth Kolbert.
T has the printed book and I got the audiobook from the library; going to try listening to it on my walks. Audiobooks are nice because you can do other stuff while you listen to them, but they are slower too (I read pretty fast).
(addendum 1/25)
Listening to the book - it's a set of observations by Kolbert from visiting various locations in the world affected by global warming, the history of man's recognition of global warming and some of the science behind it.
So far I'm enjoying it because it's got science without being obssessed with details and it's a narrative without too much of the look-at-the-cool-people-I-hang-out-with that drug down The World Is Flat.
Plus, it's short - 200 pages inc. footnotes, probably 180-190 for the book itself.

My problem with audio books is that my mind wanders too much and I don't really here it. Just like when I listen to music or the radio. I just finished the book "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham. It is a true story taking place in Ada, Ok. I like his fiction better.
