I have some travel/flying anxiety and would like a book/audiobook that’s long and will keep me distracted during an upcoming travel day. I had planned on listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again, so I have that as backup. I’m open to any literary genre. Thanks!

I really liked The Help – it’s 18 hours long and I listened in huge chunks while I drove and did stuff around the house.
11/22/63 by Stephen King – a man goes back in time to prevent the assassination of US President John Kennedy
Washington’s Crossing by David Hackett Fischer
Anything by Brandon Sanderson, especially if read by Michael Kramer
(The Way of Kings is great)
Waging a Good War by Thomas E. Ricks
Anything read by Michael Kramer.
moby dick is 24 hours, the necronomicon is 21, the lord of the rings is technically one book not three, try the dresden files for adult wizard who is a detective its narrated by james marsten otherwise known as spike from buffy the vampire slayer and brainiac from smallville and a witch in supernatural you get the point for that one at this point right
