The dawn of the audiobook is here. What better way to enjoy a book is there than by settling back with one’s headphones and letting someone else do the hard work for you?
We’ve compiled a list of the books that have made a fine transition into audio format and definitely require a listen – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you won’t get eye strain!

James Acaster
Famous for his comedy television show appearances and being nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times, James Acaster is one of Britain’s brightest young talents.

The results, as he tries to dig himself out, are nearly always hilarious.

5. Life and Laughing: My Story
Michael McIntyre
Michael McIntyre’s 2010 autobiography is just as funny on a re-read, and more so when read by McIntyre himself. This is the story of the man before the record breaking comedy successes, long before Michael McIntyre’s Big Show. It’s a touching, but most importantly – very very funny – tale.
