Audiobooks are good for data entry jobs... I never had an interest in Star Trek books til the early 90's when I was doing data entry and had access to alot of ST audiobooks... I'm still happy I got the back history on Troi and Riker's relationship..

One thing I can say though is the person(s) reading the book make a huge difference in the sleepiness factor. For instance I relistened to Douglas Adams reading the Hitchhiker's trilogy multiple times, but never got past the first chapter in Catch-22 because of the reader.
