My commute is long (relatively speaking for Northern Colorado, at least) and I mitigate the mental slack time with audio books. Most of these are thanks to Overdrive (http://www.overdrive.com/products) through my local library. 2008 saw me through the following works:
Edith Wharton
Age of Innocence
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne of Green Gables
Anne of Avonlea
Anne of the Island
Anne's House of Dreams
Elisabeth Gaskell
Cranford
Wives and Daughters
Sarah Jewett
A Country Doctor
Geoffrey Chaucer
Canterbury Tales
P. G. Wodehouse
Carry On Jeeves
Hugh Lofting
The Story of Dr. Dolittle
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
Anne McCaffrey
Dragonflight
Dragonquest
Dragonsdawn
Moreta
The Renegades of Pern
The White Dragon
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Flappers and Philosophers
John Galsworthy
Forsyte Saga
Sir Walter Scott
Ivanhoe
Holly Black
Spiderwick Chronicles
Thomas Hardy
The Mayor of Casterbridge
Charlote Brontë
The Professor
It is not a substitute for real reading, and it's a lot slower than the pace I normally go through a work, but I love how the audiobooks help me fill an otherwise unproductive (but substantial) chunk of my day.
