Agreed -- I listen to audiobooks while driving - but only on cross country drives. I don't listen until I'm around Chicago, and onto non-congested suburban freeways (tollways, actually). I do local radio through the congested area.
However, coming home, I'm already "in the groove" and accustomed to how to listen, with 10-11 hours under my belt already. So I listen even on the Chicago outskirt loop, until I finish the book. Then I'll go back to local radio stations that are programmed into my car.
I hardly notice the time duration of these loooong drives, now that I'm listening to audiobooks! For me the genre is mystery, but choose whatever genre you like best.
