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.

Professional readers, rather than lecturers, ease the process and increase the enjoyment.
