Quick Road Trip Audio Book

I'm about to make a 16 hour round trip visit to Utah and was curious if anyone had a good Audio Book, preferrably about the Early Church History or Joseph Smith; or something along the lines of the God Delusion that won't put me to sleep... Just looking for suggestions, hopefully there isn't a thread already about this :)

Re: Quick Road Trip Audio Book

I heartily recommend The Accidental Terrorist by William Shunn. It's available for free, read by the author, in 60 mp3 episodes at http://www.shunn.net/accident.xml

Shunn is an ex-Mormon who has the funniest true mission story I've ever heard. He intersperses his adventures with the parallel adventures of Joseph Smith. I think the total time for the audio book is about 15 hours or so.

I didn't know that was available on audio book! That is a hilarious story! Love it! Not so much about the early church, but good stuff.

(I posted here a couple of years ago when my daughter's boyfriend was getting ready to leave on his mission. We are not Mormon. My daughter and I cracked up over this story. BTW - he sent her a dear Jane letter way back when, and now that the time is coming closer to him returning, he sent her a Christmas gift...weird.)

Here's the website if you would rather read it than listen to it.
