John Lee is one of my favorite narrators and his reading of the Count of Monte Cristo is wonderful (even at 47 hours).
Ron Chernow’s biographies of Grant, Hamilton, and Washington.
Candice Millard‘s “Hero’s of the Empire” (about Winston Churchill) and “River of Doubt” (Theodore Roosevelt) are both interesting looks at important historical figures in situations we don’t often prescribe to them. Her first book “Destiny of the Republic” (James Garfield) is also good but the other two are superior.

“David and Goliath” by Malcolm Gladwell.
