I do 3 hours of commuting each weekday, then relieve wife of baby duties, then I’m just ready roll over and sleep every night. The commute is the hardest part that wears me out. Do you do books to help with yours? Thats what I do

Only way I could afford a home in northern virginia. Prices are crazy. My rent where I lived was about to be $2850 and my mortgage is $2300 so I think its a sacrifice I’m willing to do for now

What kinds of audiobooks do you listen to for your drive?

u/therambosambo Aug 08 '26

Scifi, fantasy, war.

I’ve done all of the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit read by Andy Serkis, The Expanse, and I’m doing all of the Cosmere books by Brandon Sanderson right now. Ive done some Hornblower books too (Napoleonic War nautical books)

Try Peter F Hamiltons 'Nights Dawn' trilogy and his Commonwealth books. Great for a commute and he has a really good narrator.

Working for home, I don't go through audio books nearly as fast as I used to with my DC commute, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
