I’m not good at listening/not an auditory learner, so I struggle with audiobooks in general. I have to stick with easy-to-digest audiobooks. I wouldn’t stand a chance with non-fiction, unless it was with a topic I was already knowledgeable about.

I find it crazy it's the opposite for me. One look at a page and my brain shuts down. I sometimes listen to music (no voices just ambient) while I listen to audio books as well.

I listened to Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of time" when I was commuting to graduate school. I enjoyed it, but didn't retain much (ok, anything) and almost drove off the road a few times, trying to grasp what he was saying.
