Filling my Knowledge Fight hole with books

Like everyone else, I have a decent-sized hole in my must-listen podcast feed. I also have been wanting to actually finish some non-fiction books, instead of trying to burn my way through them like they were fiction and giving up a third of the way in. Some folks suggested listening to them on audio book, since I do like listening to fairly dense podcasts.

So I'm currently listening to John Ganz's *When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s.* I've been trying to read this ever since it came out in hardcover, and it's just so much smoother in audio form. I kind of wish that there was more emotion in the reader's voice, but I also get that the clarity is what's important. And I'm already further than I ever got in paper or digital.

So consider this both a wonky recommendation for *When the Clock Broke* and for audiobooks in general about this fetid swamp that we can't look away from.

Any other books out there that folks ought to give a try?

(Also, if your library has Libby or Hoopla, you can check out audiobooks from the app on your phone and listen to them right there -- no need for downloading or anything like that. Just as easy as a podcast app.)
