The two I enjoyed most were both non-fiction; one of which was a golden oldie written over 18 centuries ago:
• Meditations by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was a re-read, but the first time as an audiobook. Audio is not the best medium for a book of this type, if only for the fact that you can't stop every few minutes and underline another one of his pearls of wisdom, and it's the last time I'll read it in that format.
• Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't Know About Them) was another wonderful and well-researched book by Bart D. Ehrman. I've never been disappointed with any book written by this eminent U.S. Bible scholar.
