I listen to fiction and nonfiction audiobooks when I walk my dog. The two latest ones I enjoyed were "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein (it's narrated by a dog), and "It's Called Work For a Reason" by Larry Winget.

I actually read these.. don't know how good the audiobook versions are:
Dresden Files
Ender's Game
Any books by Laurell K. Hamilton

There's more, but I'm having a brain fart right now

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brian. Excellent book. If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home is another of his that's a good one. Dunno how they play out on audio books, but they're some gripping stories.

What the hell? That's the phrase in an Army running cadence (or one version of such.. other versions are "bury me in the leaning rest", etc.).

Dan Brown's Angels & Demons (I think that's what it's called)
Marley & Me - great book, haven't seen the movie
are you a Harry Potter fan at all - all those books should take you a long ways
Stephen King books are always great
