Riveting Audiobook Memoirs for Your Roadtrip and Commute

Pat Saperstein Deputy EditorMemoirs seem to be the perfect genre for spending time listening to audiobooks. Even more than transporting fiction or informative non-fiction, there’s something about listening to highly personal confessions in the privacy of your car or on a long walk that makes you feel like you have an intimate relationship with the author.Celebrity memoirs can be a wild ride through a performer’s ups and downs, but just as compelling are books from people who have had extraordinary lives like “The Glass Castle’s” Jeanette Walls — or are just extraordinarily entertaining at recounting their everyday lives, like David Sedaris.Many of the best memoirs hinge on the breakthrough moment — the turning point when a nobody starts to become a somebody for the first time.
