I listen to fiction and nonfiction audiobooks when I walk my dog. The two latest ones I enjoyed were "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein (it's narrated by a dog), and "It's Called Work For a Reason" by Larry Winget.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brian. Excellent book. If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home is another of his that's a good one. Dunno how they play out on audio books, but they're some gripping stories.

What the hell? That's the phrase in an Army running cadence (or one version of such.. other versions are "bury me in the leaning rest", etc.).
