LOL, just posted this comment above: I listened to Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of time" when I was commuting to graduate school. I enjoyed it, but didn't retain much (ok, anything) and almost drove off the road a few times, trying to grasp what he was saying.

I listen to audiobooks often. I would never consider listening to them while driving. Driving is an activity that requires more attention, not less. Weeding and housework are just fine. As for the Stephen Hawking book, I also tried listening to it. I had to stop because some subjects are so deep that they require contemplation.
