With audiobooks I don’t think about pages but about percents. I don’t have a minimum before I’ll DNF, but once I’m past 30% or so I’m definitely finishing (and I may bump up the speed a little). Usually closer to 10-20% I’ll ask myself if I’m just not that into something.

While I haven't read The Thorn Birds, McCullough's Masters of Rome heptalogy is delightfully weird and probably the most epic thing I have read.

Stolen Prey by John Sandford, perhaps his best in a series of excellent crime fiction novels which is addictive for good reasons.

The Ethics of Our Fighters by Shlomo Brody , a history of Jewish ethical and religious issues confronted by Jews historically to the present. Riveting and useful.

New biography of James A. Garfield, perhaps the best example of “character” since President Washington and one of the most skillful and respected politicians the nation has yet produced.
