This week J.D. Robb’s Fantasy in Death is this week’s best selling audiobook. Robb’s Big Jack audiobook also hits the list at number 16.

My personal recommendation is at number 15. The audiobook is Switch, which focuses on why change is hard. I’m just finishing the authors previous audiobook, Made to Stick, which deals with why some ideas stick and other don’t. If you like Gladwell, these two are worth checking out.

Hope you find something you enjoy.
