15 short nonfiction audiobooks you can read in 7 hours or less – Modern Mrs Darcy

If I wasn’t already an R. Eric Thomas fan for life, this collection would have clinched it. In his sophomore book of essays, the Here for It author tells hilarious, moving, and deeply insightful tales of love, adult friendship, family, and marriage, and also therapy, Zoom funerals, working alone, COVID isolation, middle age, and his home city of Baltimore. There’s no weak link in this collection: every story feels immediate, intimate, and real. I first read this in print and had to re-read it once it came out in audiobook; Eric’s narration is not to be missed. (It was a joy to talk with Eric in WSIRN Episode 392: Insightful and entertaining memoirs, where you can hear him share more about this collection) 6 hours 40 minutes. More info →
