If you have some windshield time, or any other down time when you can listen to a podcast/audiobook, give a listen to a guy named Dan Carlin. Larke, I know you read a lot of stuff in your deer stand, but you could prolly stick one earphone in your ear and still listen to this guy.
The first ones I listened to were about the Greek and Persian Empires and all of the kings from basically Cyrus on down to Alexander the Great. Right now, I downloaded the mp3s and I'm listening to his first podcasts that are about Genghis Khan. The whole series is called 'Hard ore History'.
These might sound like dry subjects but they way he relates history is really awesome. He makes it come alive and that makes it really interesting. And be prepared, they are 3-4 hours long. So if you have a daily routine where you listen to music or news, these are awesome.
Of course, it pays if you like history.
He has some other podcasts called 'Common Sense' that i've been told are really good but I haven't listened to them yet.
This guy is seriously good. Give it a listen. Its better than a lot of the crap you hear being broadcast these days.
