Maybe you should consider some of the audio offerings from CCIE
training vendors? The guy next to you can be listening to 175bpm drum
n bass and you can be listening to IPv6 global unicast addressing
hierarchies.

That was just one example, obviously. I think it's the "IOS Cookbook"
I was thinking of from O'Reilly. There are lots of "recommended
reading" lists out there for CCIE, and most of them are spot on. I
would personally recommend:

TCP/IP Illustrated vol I (a bit dated but excellent)
Routing TCP/IP vol I and II (very dry and difficult to read but a good
resource nonetheless)
CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide (Wendell Odom, for
the written, but good coverage)
QoS Exam Certification Guide (another Wendell book -- I really like
his writing style)

(this is not an exhaustive list.)

cheers,
Dale
