Just finished Chuck Klosterman's "The Visible Man."

The Visible Man: A Novel Audiobook | Chuck Klosterman | Audible.com

I really like CK, and I liked this a lot. It's speculative fiction - basic setup is: a guy has developed a means to become virtually invisible, the story is presented in the form of a first draft of a book written by his psychotherapist based on her sessions and interaction with him. The focus is much more human than just "wow, this is cool stuff," it's more about moral and personality issues. CK also inevitably seeds in pop culture, too, though not overdoing it.

I'd add it to my list of worth a listen - pretty brief (8hrs I think) and the two narrators are solid. It would be an interesting book to discuss over drinks.
