Audiobook: Nonfiction
Consider nonfiction audiobooks as a return to the time in your life when you absorbed a tremendous amount of information, more than you knew: when your elders taught you and when you were in school. Hearing rather than visualizing from text is a different and very effective way to learn history, biography, humor, theology, and many other topics. Professional readers, rather than lecturers, ease the process and increase the enjoyment.
